   About Pat Fish
I come from the 20th Century. I was born in West London at the end of the fifties, and I swear that things really were in black and white back then. As a small boy with a love for Johnny Kidd and the Pirates, I remember seeing Doctor Who and the Beatles for the first time the same rainy Saturday afternoon in 1963. As I grew a little older I was exposed to the full impact of the Beatles, the Pink Floyd, the Avengers and the Prisoner. I was also introduced to the work of my softly-spoken, charming "Uncle" Terry. He turned out to be Terence Fisher, director of Hammer studio horror pictures. Listen, pal. I was a goth before you were a goth. Believe me..........From 1983 I wrote, sang and played with The Jazz Butcher Conspiracy. We made a bunch of records (many of which you can now find on I-Tunes) and toured the world. We had a good time nearly all the time and I'm profoundly grateful to all concerned. Here's a scary wee video of one of the singles that we made for Creation Records back in 1990 ............Astonishingly, we still get the occasional chance to play out. Here we are, Max Eider, Stevie Valentine, Kevin Haskins and me, playing at a punk festival at the Echo in Los Angeles in October 2009. Footage (as we like to call it) courtesy of my good pal Cole Coonce, ............These days I spend most of my time in Northampton NN1. It's a cool sort of town where most people still have a functioning bullshit detector. I like to go out and play gigs whenever and wherever I can. Sometimes I play completely acoustic, just man and guitar, which is something like what you see on this video from London's 12 Bar Club a couple of years back. ............Other times I like to play electric with my dirty lo-fi home-made backing tracks. Here's footage from the 100 Club in London shot last year by my friend Sumishta Brahm. ............As Max likes to say, I will contentedly play to three men and a dog in a village hall, and it is true that I'm always looking for "work". If you have any interest in booking me to come and play at your social event, you have come to the right place. Do please feel free to send a message and we can discuss logistics. Virtually nothing is impossible............Smokers! I will happily play in your home. It's like going out but more fun............I have no idea who assembled this next little film, but I commend it to you. (The film, it should be said, is some way better than the tune.) My thanks to Vodka Von Stroheim.

Hi Pat,

Its been a while and we thought it was about time we updated you on what we've
been up to. Our debut EP Little World is now available at our gigs and will
soon be available from our myspace and facebook pages, you will also be able to
download it from itunes, but we don't have a release date for this as yet.

To celebrate the fact that we have now reached 25,000 plays on myspace, we are
giving you a free MP3 of Rockabye Baby. All you have to do is send your email
address to queen.elvis@yahoo.ie and we will send it to you.

We have spent the last year rehearsing with a full band and are now ready to
bring it on the road. You can get a look at us when we appear on Balcony TV
this week with the full line up. We are currently taking bookings for
gigs/concerts/festivals and can be contacted on the email above, or through our
myspace and facebook pages.

Thankyou for your continued support in what has been a great year for us!

Best Wishes

Caroline and Colin
