BAND BIOGRAPHY
Blackfish are a bunch of mates that have
been playing music together for years. In this and previous guises they have
twice represented Cornwall in Ireland for the International Pan Celtic Song
Contest (despite not having even a remotely celtic sound...), and have played to
audiences ranging from two old blokes and a dog to 5,000 people on festival
stages. Blackfish have the luxury of a well equipped studio of their own, and
very tolerant neighbours!
Dave Richards teaches at a music college, Nina Hudson is a licensing officer,
Joe Westfoot a civil servant and Rob Valentine a self confessed "house bitch". They have
influences as diverse as Turin Brakes and ZZ Top, and a strange habit of
bellowing "HONK!" All music is written by the band, and Dave scribbles the
lyrics on scraps of paper on the studio floor.
What we do:
Dave- guitars, main vox, odds and sods of keys
Joe- guitars, more oddments of keys, backing vox
Rob- bass
Nina- drums, piano, violin, percussion
