Fish Records presents...

For 2014 I had two new years resolutions, one was to post to my blog the other was to take in more live music. Well one out of two ain't bad. In one week in February I managed to see in Steve Tilston in a Guild Hall in the Midlands, The Stray Birds at a club in Camden, Seth Lakeman in a Cathedral and Frank Turner in an arena and subsequently Steve Knightley in a village hall.

For those that are not aware Steve Knighltley is taking a large part of 2014 playing small venues, villages hall etc that have been organised by local enthusiasts and fans.

So taking Steve Knightley's 'grow your own' gig concept one step further I find myself as a concert promoter. The original idea was a series of house concerts however not having a living room large enough I'm doing it in small theatres. So we now have Fish Records presents...

On 2nd June at the Festival Drayton Centre, Market Drayton we have The Henry Girls. After that are a series of gigs at The Met Studio part of the Stafford Gatehouse Theatre. The gigs for 2014

7 July - Jim Moray

04 August - O'Hooley & tidow

01 September - The Stray Birds

06 October - Luke Jackson

10 November - Jess Morgan

No gig in December due to the pantomine season that's the venue rather than the artists or promoter!

We already have three acts booked for 2015 and they are all rather special, all begin with the letter 'M' and I'm keeping them as a surprise.

I am so looking forward to these concerts and encourage wherever possible you come along to see wonderful artists in small, intimate venues and to say hello.
