The Jazz Butcher Conspiracy : People : Pat Fish (The Butcher)

Conspirators : Pat Fish (The Butcher)

Details

Patrick Fish: His birthday is the 20th of December. Educated: Allegedly, he studied Philosophy at Oxford, he mentions it here..
Role: Voice, Guitar, Bass, Keyboards, Percussion, Saxophone, Flute, Xylophone, Rubber Animals, Programming..
He is the only constant in the revolving door that is known as The Jazz Butcher Conspiracy. Except for a few cases, Pat has been the sole songwriter for the group.
Resides: In Northampton, England with his cats (Little Jake, Hobbu). and the lovely Canadian Amazon Kathie McGinty, whom he met while on the 1992 North American Tour (she was the driver). [signature]

He has often expressed dissatisfaction with the inability of his audience to appreciate anything outside of the "rock norm", although his albums have to this point stayed fairly within those boundaries.

Past divergences from the JBC effort include The Black Eg, Stranger Tractors, and a little dance/pop affair known as Sumosonic. Lately, he's forging forward with the group Wilson.

Credits On

In 30 years, he has brought a dozen full-length records into the world.

Hi Bob, I remember you, sir. I'm pretty much the same as ever. To be honest, I can't see me making it to Saskatoon any time soon...but you never know. That much I have learned. All best, Pat x

Hi Pat

Long time no see. It's Bob Rudachyk, we hooked up a few times after your concerts in Saskatoon and Vancouver. Just wondering what you have been up to and if you are coming back to Saskatoon any time.

Hi Pat,
I remember you used to live in Shutlanger (was it)? I think I came to play and was stung by a wasp. You used to write for the magazine at GH, Acta Antiqua? You did a series of science fiction stories about crocodilians, Krok and Jkarta or some such names???
Any how if I hadn't looked at the Jazz Butcher on Spotify I would never have realised that you were the Pat H. whose friend I was back at GH??
Simon

Yo, you can message me direct via www.myspace.com/patfish77. Then maybe I could explain the song to you. It's dead simple.

Song book? Chords?

Hi Pat,

Long time fan, first time writer. Recently learning the ukulele, and I was humming Love Kittens this evening and thinking how fun it would be to learn and play. But I'm not nearly good enough to figure it out myself, I'd need to see the chords written out. Do you have a songbook? Alternatively, could you help a guy out? Suggestions?
