Ex-Marillion front man Fish hits the road this month with his band of Fishheads for a UK tour.
With a new album ('Feast Of Consequences') due early next year Fish has decided that he wants to take a slightly different approach to the business and particularly his live shows after a series of health scares:
"I didn't want to plunge back into the formulaic pattern of write and record the next album and then tour as I wanted to find where my voice was before committing it to recording. My voice is clearer than it ever was but it needs to be built up gradually to find the strength and ranges again.
I didn't want it to potentially struggle in a full electric band set up and I thought that an acoustic environment would be perfect to put it through the paces.
The space offered by acoustic versions of songs provides room for experimentation and combined with the intimacy of the venues we are playing there is great scope for dynamic and dramatic expression."
