There not calling it Leba & The Maytals - but still probably should be in the conversation for a West Holts slot

Its a bit weird isnt it.   No fault with them carrying on with a new vocalist - but i mean........  

[CaledonianGonzo]

Easy option would just have been to rebrand (back) to The Maytals (again)

They were called just The Maytals originally.

Last time they were late and their west holts spot cancelled, pity as we were really looking forward to it.

Eek. Bit cringy. I seem to remember them not turning up for a West Holts slot a few years ago.

They had played in London the night before and it was traffic related, They got stuck in the fallout from a major crash They did play on the Truth stage instead.  I was working in West Holts at the time and the PA for the stage had been saying between every act that Toots might not happen - it was a shame, they though they might just make it so they did not put a replacement act on.
