There may be times when our frontman (Rob Lea) is unavailable. In these instances, we always believe it's only fair to be up front with our clients and say something about this prior to the day, as we know a vocalist is a huge part of a band's sound.
Fortunately, we can often rely on our fantastically talented stand-in vocalist, Mitch Colcombe, who has helped us on many occasions and is totally at home in both a band context and as a solo performer.
He normally performs during the day at wedding receptions / ceremonies etc., which is why he often has free time to help us in the evening should Rob be unable to join us.Besides his great vocal ability, he has a strong knowledge of our set-list and is a charismatic performer, who has no issues interacting with a crowd comfortably.
We're really pleased to have him on board as we don't think there are many vocalists around who could deliver the same quality on stage - especially at short notice - that he does!
(Skip to: 3 minutes 40 seconds, if you want to hear “She Will Be Loved” – it definitely shows off Mitch’s vocal ability!)
This video features Mitch with his band performing at “The Garage” near Nottingham (also featuring The Four Kicks guitarist).
The songs featured are “Budapest” by George Ezra & “She Will Be Loved” by Maroon 5. The early start also explains the younger crowd… (one of them actually being Mitch’s little girl!).
Both songs are also on The Four Kick’s setlist. Mitch is comfortable singing in a variety of styles including indie & rock, but we felt the above footage showed off his range fairly well.
