Wholesome Fish

"A raucous harmony of traditional instruments (fiddle, banjo and guitar) underpinned by a cooking rhythm section, Wholesome Fish create music to dance to. With influences spanning a world of styles – from Celtic and gypsy-rooted folk through to Cajun, boogie-blues and punk – the Fish have their own distinctive and powerful sound. The band’s pedigree and experience speaks for itself, having played festivals and venues, big and small, in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Holland and Czech Republic, supporting the Pogues, Transglobal Underground, and Jah Wobble along the way.
