View from the Balcony

FishNews

I just missed the dawn by a few minutes and rather it being a guilty reminder of excesses it was surprisingly from the correct side.

Not the End of the World

FishNews

It’s been an eerie last few weeks. The virus that took me out just after Leamington persisted for over a month and refused to give me my voice back. I traveled to Germany to visit my girlfriend carrying with me the up to date demos that Steve Vantsis had burned off at the end of a week long session that … Read More

Daleks, Merch and Convention

FishBlog, Gigs, News

The “Daleks” are as pointed out extractor fans from the flat roof at the back of the house. They were used when it was a fully functioning commercial studio to move fresh air around the building and into the booths on the North side of the building. They had brick surrounds as when we opened up the place to record … Read More
