Robin Matthews: Bass & Backing Vocals.
Robin is our brand new Bass Player, finally reunited with his old rhythm section partner Dave Vaughan. He plays any style you care to throw at him with such consummate ease, we are thinking of breaking a couple of his fingers, just so we can keep up! Robin is the proud holder of several National awards for 'Best Kept Barnet' and supplies the band with marmalade and assorted condiments.

Dave
Vaughan: Drums/Percussion. One half of the 'girder strong' rhythm section & multi linguist (can swear in five languages). Dave performed with Ben Baddoo for many years, one of the leading exponents of African/European music in Britain. Joined the 'Fish' six years ago and has never looked back (due to an old pole vaulting accident). Teaches Percussion at a local College and can often be found fiddling under the odd car.

Charlie
Stubbings: Electric & Acoustic Guitars, Lead & Backing Vocals. Charlie also joined the band six years ago, adding a new dimension with his prolific song writing skills and driving guitar rhythms. His own band 'Heartland Reggae' performed for many years, with an innovative approach to Reggae. Charlie is continually adding to his vast catalogue of songs, but thankfully still finds time to relax on a beanbag with a good bottle. |

Simon
Swarbrick: Electric & Acoustic Fiddles. Simon is the nephew of the great Dave Swarbrick and has inherited all of his mastery and more! He attended Leeds College of Music and is one of the few musicians capable of delivering astounding solo's, whilst standing completely still!
