PAT FISH SADLY PASSED AWAY ON WEDNESDAY-A TRIBUTE TO PAT FISH

After discussion with the people involved we are going to go ahead with tomorrow night's gig with the support bands and a few extra guests, and give any money raised to a relevant charity that Pat would have supported.

Tickets will be refunded from wegottickets and entry for everyone will be £5.00 on the door.

Here's Pat from the last time he played at The Thunderbolt https://youtu.be/oE2qFcH4xFs

Bush & Fey
Steve Bush and Fran Fey, have been writing, recording and gigging together for well over a decade now. Their first album, ‘Row of Ashes', was released in November 2008, with the follow up, ´Earl Grey and Leather´ released in November 2016. Steve Bush first stepped out in Bristol with Essential Bop - one of the city´s seminal new wave bands. His reputation for intense stage performances and acerbic lyrics has not diminished since. In 2001, after many years in London, Steve – having just returned to Bristol - released the acclaimed ´Blossom Freak´ album. Fran hails from Wales. Proficient on guitar, mandolin, zither and ukulele, Fran has played all over the world, including jamming with Arab Musicians in Kuwait and playing echoing space music atop the Himalayas. Drummer, Ben Wallis (The Herb Garden) has recently joined the duo, adding an extra dimension to their live gigs.

GERARD STARKIE
"Formerly lead singer with Witness, 1990’s contenders from Wigan, a kind of The Verve meets the Waterboys, Starkie is a low-profile cult hero making crafted country-rock that deserves a wider audience. If he was American he’d be being raved about."
