Fishheads Club Tour 2011:

Fish, ex-lead singer of Marillion, will tour Scotland from 4 August – 3^rd September with an acoustic set that has already garnered fantastic reviews in Germany, Holland, Poland, Norway and Denmark.  In Europe Fish played at a variety of venues from traditional concert halls to an old monastery in Germany and a coal mine in Poland.

With Frank Usher on guitar and Foss Paterson on keyboard, Fish will be playing songs from the back catalogue of both Marillion and his own solo albums, with the possibility of previewing some new material if he gets around to writing it before August.  The tour will take in cities as well as smaller towns and, for the first time, visits to Orkney, Shetland and Lewis.

Fish first came to public prominence 30 years ago in 1981 as the lead singer of Marillion and they enjoyed top 10 success with singles such as Kayleigh, Lavender and Incomunicado.  In 1988 he left the band to pursue a solo career and has since released 9 studio albums with a tenth due to be released next year.  Fish has also appeared in several TV series and films.  He had a career hiatus in 2008 when he had to be treated for a cyst on his vocal chords, and complications from the operation meant that he was unable to perform live again until summer 2010. 

Fish says: “I’m really looking forward to this tour and getting out and about all over Scotland.  The acoustic shows are different to what I have done before and I’m enjoying playing all the old songs in a new way”.

Come and see him in Skinandi's on Thursday 1st September
