FASTWAY Enlist Former LITTLE ANGELS Singer
May 23, 2007, 17 years ago
Former LITTLE ANGELS frontman Toby Jepson has joined FASTWAY. He replaces John 'Harv' Harbinson (STORMZONE) who left the band yesterday (read story here). A statement from Jepson reads as follows:
"I'm very excited to be asked to do this, I owned a copy of the first Fastway record and have a lot of respect for Eddie, it is a great opportunity and one I simply couldn't turn down. It will see me as part of a great band treading the stages of Europe's biggest festival this year and who know what else in the future…"When pushed about how it will affect Tobe's solo career he said: "Not at all is the answer! I have had detailed discussions with the management of the Fastway camp and have let them know that I have a solo career in development that I have commitment to and will continue to pursue. I see this project with Fastway as a great second string, it allows me to work with other musicians on material that isn't mine and so stretches me as a vocalist and allows me to simply concentrate on the singing…it looks like it will be a lot of fun and I intend to enjoy it. We have already had a couple of rehearsals and it sounded great, Eddie is on top form so I think the shows will be very cool, however, the Chepstow show and the September tour is still of the highest priority for me and I cant wait to get back in the studio in July to record the next EP so all is as it should be."
