Out of confusion A sense of living We’ve changed we’ll face the day To make a weak idea replay Our desires for life and love It’s like the warmth of the sun You’ll get a feeling of Days never ending All kinds of minds befriending each other And you’ll be my lover Out of theContinue reading "Warmth of the sun (be my lover) – rehearsal – 30.04.26"
God, whatever that is rehearsal – 07.05.26
Give it a chance. Takes a while to get going but once it does there's a proper tune in there. And it has an odd time signature which makes us look clever, if such a thing were possible. God, whatever that is. Nothing new to comfort youWhy should there beYou can tell me what oughtContinue reading "God, whatever that is rehearsal – 07.05.26"

Done My first time V.1 My first time V.2
Rehearsal – 12.03.26
So I felt ill after this session. Sore throat and temperature but thought it might be because of the singing. It wasn't. Mind you, however ill you feel it's great to have a groove like this to relax into. It's your certainty that worries me. Done Thanks for listening 🙏🏼
Rehearsal – 05.03.26
I know we've been quiet for a bit. We've got a new bassist (Chris) and it's taking some time to bed us all in again. Not that he's slow or anything - quite the opposite but we can only meet once a week for now and it all takes time. Also it's not like weContinue reading "Rehearsal – 05.03.26"
Imaginarysciencecircus
Adam, Michael and Wayne playing a proper rock tune. None of that namby pamby folk we normally get up to. https://videopress.com/v/F9X0bNrj?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true imaginarysciencecircust Love both Wayne and Adam's parts on this. Adam’s riff is typical Adam. It pushes the listener along and breaks up the phrase and is never overly flashy. Wayne drives it without smackingContinue reading "Imaginarysciencecircus"
Walk in a straight line.
A song that until now has not been played by the full band. The last time we played this tune live was upstairs at the Hare and Hounds on Shudehill in town. Love Adam’s riff over this. It’s very hard (I would imagine) to play an accompanying riff on any instrument that manages to complementContinue reading "Walk in a straight line."
Guitarist’s Stupid Face and Potty Mouth Ruins Video
Once again the lead guitarist in alt-folk legends fishonastick has found himself immersed in a vat of disciplinary hot water. Fans of the very young looking tunesmiths will remember with dismay how Adam Goodwin recently came to blows with lead singer and renowned uber-professional, Michael R Shaw. The spat ultimately led to Goodwin being ejectedContinue reading "Guitarist’s Stupid Face and Potty Mouth Ruins Video"
Wasted
So Wayne sends us a WhatsApp a couple of days before rehearsal last week and says he’s been listening to an old fishonastick recording of a song with loads of slide guitar on it and that he wants to have a go at recording it. The original was frantic and unrelenting in pace and hereContinue reading "Wasted"
Done
As promised, and exclusive to our email subscribers, please feel free to toddle through an as yet unreleased, one take live recording of a song called DONE. Love, love, love the guitar work from Adam running through this from the 1 minute mark. Wayne's drumming was ace as usual apart from one tiny error onContinue reading "Done"
