This is merely an anecdote, not news. I found this Q&A snippet in the February issue of Uncut, attached to a glowing review of Richard Hawley's new album, 'Low Edges'. (His 'Late Night Final' was lovely and spent plenty of time in my CD player, btw.)

Q: Does the audition for Morrissey seem a lifetime ago?
A: Well, he was just starting out solo and he'd heard me in [Hawley's previous band] Treebound Story and liked my playing. So I went for the audition and there was me and Maurice Deebank of Felt-amazing guitarist. But Morrissey already had the main band and I think he just got us in to push them over the edge. I played a load of Elvis, then sang "One Night" and he said, "Why the hell are you singing?" That was that!

  • That sounds straight to the point to me. Better to point out his stupidity now than going through the burden of calling him stupid later when part of the band. This is why I'm a fan.

  • I wonder how Moz decides on who makes the band? I still think its purely on looks, but I'm probably wrong. As far as singing....Elvis songs are easy to play...the only thing to distinguish one song from another are the lyrics
