Les 'Lector' Smith is an English keyboard player. He is currently a member of a British band Anathema, after having played for black metal band Cradle of Filth. During his time in Cradle of Filth (1997–1999), his stage persona consisted of wearing a custom Vicar Priest top, black leather pants and goth make-up. He played keyboards in two of Cradle's releases: Cruelty and the Beast and From the Cradle to Enslave. Les Smith was also a member (along with drummer Mike Heaton, guitar Mince, & vocals by Stag & Azzy), of the riotous band The Tourettes, which in turn was a spin off from the highly controversial Batley based thug band "The Healey Beats". Post-Cradle of Filth, he accused only original band member Dani Filth of considering it his own solo project ("Dani and the Filths" he jokes)
