Lauren's Chilling Vocal Lead

LEAD singer LAUREN WOOD may only be 17, but already her singing career is on fast forward thanks to a whole lot of talent and a little bit of networking.

For the past 12 months the vocalist has fronted CHILL, performing with guitarist RITCHIE SNEDDON and PETER STARR. 'She's a fantastic singer,' Sneddon says.

'In fact she's got one of the best voices I've heard here in town. We're spoilt.'

Wood can be heard this Saturday night at Hamilton RSL Club where she leads three-part vocal harmonies, while Sneddon and Starr swap lead guitar and lead vocal duties throughout the night.

The trio performs ballads and light rock in the first half of the evening, and danceable light rock music in the second half.
