I am now forming a band with Tina (aka The Plank) from S Club.
We originally wanted a German backing band & were going to call ourselves SS Club, but this proved difficult as we don't know any Germans. ( I know a couple of Nazis - but they're not musicians - or German.)
So we've settled on the name The New Lurkers.
She's singing and playing tambourine (not at the same time). I'm playing bongos.
We're mostly going to do covers of Stiff Little Fingers songs (her rich voice really suits 'Johnny Was') - and possibly some early Bucks Fizz (the pre- sell out material).
We're hoping to recruit Dick Vomit on drums & Richie Sambora on bass. We may not bother with a guitarist (though John Parrish keeps calling - he wants to produce too - fucking control freak). We're going for a quasi-ironic sound (like The Mavericks used to have). I guess our style will be Drum & Bass & Tambourine & Bongo.
Unfortunately our debut gig may have to be postponed because Tina (aka The Plank) is doing a 'get em out' shoot for FHM to pay for some new trousers she wants to buy.
Hopefully this won't delay our first single - 'Zulu Dawn' - being released in time for the Christmas charts, although I am having to rewrite the lyrics to make some of the words a bit shorter for her.
Watch this space. Or don't.

Whatever medication you're on, can I have some?
Start a band with Jo - she might look like a young Pat Butcher but she's a better singer.....
Jo's gone Jazz. I hate Jazz. Although you're right about her voice, maybe I'll get her to sing on the records & just use Tina for the live stuff.
Tina's desperate to be at the front cause in S Club she always had to stand at the back due to being too tall.
S Club were very unkempt height-wise and Tina's V bitter about it.
As for the medication I'm taking - it's called 'Getting Up At 3am And Working In News' and is not available over the counter.
What have you got available under the counter?
Just some Fruit Salads and a Polish porn movie.
