WHOLESOME FISH

About Me

With a raucous blend of traditional instruments (fiddle, banjo and guitar) underpinned by a cooking rhythm section, Wholesome Fish create music to dance to. Their influences are whatever takes their fancy – from Celtic and gypsy-rooted folk through to rockabilly country blues & punk.The band have played festivals and venues, big and small, in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Holland and Czech Republic, supporting the Pogues, Transglobal Underground, and Jah Wobble along the way. More recently the band have been on the bill with Eliza Carthy, The Baghdaddies, Kitty Daisy and Lewis and Go Lem System. Veteran performers on the Glastonbury Blaggers’ stages and after-show parties, Rory McLeod once joined the band on trombone and John Peel broadcast a fishy knees-ups live at 4am!
Spreading dance-floor mayhem wherever they go, Wholesome Fish are a life-enhancing experience for anyone who hears them!
Hope to see you at a gig soon. With love - the fish xxxx
