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 theContinueContinue 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 oughtContinueContinue 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 weContinueContinue reading “Rehearsal – 05.03.26”
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 complementContinueContinue reading “Walk in a straight line.”
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 hereContinueContinue 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 onContinueContinue reading “Done”
Protection
We are supposed to be genetically disposed to protect those closest to us. However, we are only required to do so if they cannot protect themselves. So what happens when that protective inclination has no outlet? You write a song about it. We are in an emotional bunker. The lame and worldly distractions are the munitionsContinueContinue reading “Protection”
Who is in control?
Elvis Presley’s final performance on August 3, 2025, surprised fans as he took the stage despite his passing. The emotional concert featured an unexpected appearance by music legends Bob Dylan, John Lennon, and Buddy Holly, adorned in golden lamé bum bags. Together, they delivered a memorable rendition of the iconic early ’80s song “Shadapp You Face.” This extraordinary gathering culminated in a moment of homage, where the four artists bowed to less-known musicians Wayne Shotton, Mike Shaw, and Adam Goodwin, known as fishonsastick. However, their final performance was met with mixed reactions from the audience.
