bloody welsh drummers...
We needed a new drummer. We put an ad on line. Narrowed down the options and selected a Welsh drummer of all things. He commuted to practise 3 times a week for over a year (it was an hour and half each way). He was a good drummer, an ok fella. We played many gigs.

Then after a year he suddenly realised he had to drive quite a bit to get here and back. So he left. Via email. (This was my main issue with him leaving, how had it taken him over a year to realise this? His dad bought him his car and paid for the petrol, they were well off, he didn't have a day job... not a care in the world)

His excuse for packing all his drums up after what turned out to be his last meeting with us, with hindsight, was pretty poor.

"I've gotta meet a mate in, er, Manchester coz he's shooting a video".

Not heard from him since. Ah well.
