Comprising of four great singer/songwriters (at least) accompanied by a host of traditional instruments (fiddle, harmonica, accordion, banjo and guitar (to name but a few) and underpinned by a cooking rhythm section, Wholesome Fish create music to DANCE to. With influences spanning a world of tastes – from Celtic and gypsy-rooted folk through to Cajun, bluegrass, boogie-blues and punk – the Fish have their own distinctive and powerful sound.
The band’s pedigree and experience speaks for itself, having 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. Recently the band have been on the same bill as Eliza Carthy, The Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain, The Levellers and Saxon! At Glastonbury one time, Rory MacLeod joined them on trombone and another time John Peel broadcast one of their gigs live on Radio One!
Spreading dance-floor mayhem wherever they go, Wholesome Fish are a life-enhancing experience for anyone who hears them!
