I first heard of Kerrie Biddell after I met the guys in James Elder, through their bass player, Paul Wheeler. I was told about her and her talent, and that she was Jim Kelly's girlfriend. This was before The Affair, so they would have known about her great talents when Gino Cunico left to join the Executives. I doubt she needed to audition.
