Rehearsing again.
The second rehearsal with Kris on bass. An unbelievably cold day for it! The rehearsal studio just wouldn’t warm up.
Our First Rehearsal
The band’s first rehearsal with new bassist Kris Hudson-Lee happened today in a cold rehearsal room in Bury. It was great getting to know each other, and definitely bodes well for the future! The first gig with the new line-up will be at Bilston in May
A New Bassist for Strangefish
Strangefish are pleased to welcome onboard Kris Hudson-Lee who will be adding the low notes to future gigs. Kris is an experienced bassist with many gigs history. You might have seen him before – he is also the bassist in Ethryll; who supported Strangefish last year at The Local Authority.
Merry Christmas!
A very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all the band! Cheers!
Bilston – A rather special gig.
As a salute to band supporter Dave and his late wife Steph we will be playing an event on the 5th of May at The Robin 2, Bilston. We’ll be joined by The John Hackett Band and Encircled. Doors are early – 6pm – and tickets are available from The Robin.
