    Fishbowl Live - And His Voice Became (2)
    Fri, 23 Mar 2007 09:47:55 -0500

    AHVB 2

    Hello there!

    It's time for another Fishbowl Live Special and this week, we have the return of And His Voice Became!

    Yes, Mark and Paul, that dynamic duo from Dartford, came along to the Fishbowl for the second time in January 2007, and played a cracking set of their lusciously layered little epics. Astonishing stuff indeed.

    These boys are set for stardom no doubt - they could fill stadiums with the wall of sound they create!

    Zoe Konez

    Howdo

    Here's another Fishbowl Live Special for ya! This week, we've got Zoe Konez, a singer/songwriter from Hastings, who actually runs her own acoustic nights along similar lines to the Fishbowl!

    Zoe came along to The White Hart at the end of January and played a great set, full of altered tunings, complex rhythms, edgy lyrics and passion-filled vocals, with Paul B from And His Voice Became joining her on drums for one song.

    Zoe was kind enough to give us an interview when she came off stage, so listen out for her take on playing the Fishbowl!

    Fri, 02 Feb 2007 02:53:16 -0600

    The Shakes

    G'day folks.

    Yes, it's time for another Fishbowl Live Special, and this one really is special - it's THE SHAKES!

    Currently Number One in the PMC charts with their new single "I Want a Better Life", these podsafe pixies came along to the Fishbowl recently and delivered a superb, stripped back, acoustic performance of some of their best songs, including "Liberty Jones", "Janine" and the aforementioned hit single in the making.

    This is The Shakes as you've never heard them before! And what nice lads!

    We had a brief chat with Ed, John & Gaz afterwards, so take a listen and you'll hear what they've been up to.

    These guys are going to be huge....

    Fishbowl Live - Dale Cambell
    Fri, 26 Jan 2007 04:06:27 -0600

    Dale Campbell

    Greetings

    This week's Fishbowl Live performance features some jaw-dropping fingerwork from acoustic guitar virtuoso Dale Campbell.

    If you like instrumental guitar playing in the style of Michael Hedges, Eric Roche and Pierre Bensusan, then you will love this guy. With tapping, hammering and altered tunings galore, he had the audience transfixed from start to finish when he played at The Fishbowl last November.

    Fishbowl Live - Soulchild
    Fri, 19 Jan 2007 05:49:57 -0600
    Soulchild

    ?Owdo Peeps!

    Here we are with another Fishbowl Live Special, and this one?s a cracker!

    A couple of months back, Soulchild stepped in at the last minute to deliver a superb performance, combining stunning guitar work from Andy Vickery, incredibly powerful and emotive vocals from Jemma Poulton and all sorts of cross-rhythms on the djembe from Robin O?Keefe. They have a hugely distictive sound and are certainly destined for greater things. Wonderful stuff!

    Happy New Year!



    We're starting off 2007 with a Fishbowl Live Special recorded in June last year.



    This is a performance from Jake Boyle, Toby Boyle and Jack Hardwick, aka "Growler". Jake's mellow, bluesy-influenced songs are perfectly complimented by some blistering guitar work from guitar maestros Toby and Jack.

    Jimmy Golding


    Howdo folks!


    Here we are with the second of our live recordings from PodcastCon UK back in November.


    On this Fishbowl Live Special, Jimmy Golding (accompanied by Lucy on violin and Marcos on percussion) delivers a storming set that gets the crowd up on their feet and rocking along.


    It's a short set of just four songs, but he definitely leaves the audience wanting more.


    Go, Jimmy, go!

    Greetings!

    Something a little bit different for you this week.

    Slashed Seat Affair will be headlining at the Live Fishbowl on Sunday 25th Feb 2007, so if you like what you hear, come along and see them in action at The White Hart in Wadhurst.
