Operator Please Keyboardist Quits

The band insist the split was mutual following Gardiner's two-month break from touring with the group.

Gardiner aired her intentions to leave Operator Please shortly after filming the video for their forthcoming single Two For My Seconds.

In a posting on social networking site Facebook, Gardiner writes, "The video features myself truly playing the piano on a busy street in Sydney - an oddly appropriate send off!"

Operator Please are currently auditioning replacements for their upcoming European tour, which kicks off in London on 18 April (08).
