Help is here !

On occasion, a member of the band will not be able to make the gig. Over time, a lot of people have played for Tintean and most of these are willing to stand in. Due to the longevity of the band, anyone who does stand in is familiar with the particular way that songs are performed. Each singer will make a song his or her own.
