We have become well-known locally and have played  gigs in many areas of Cumbria.  We also have a number of gigs planned in 2005 but by no means a full calendar, so we are available for bookings; please contact us for information.

BIOGRAPHY

Formed in February 2004 as a way of passing time (as there is never much to do in Renwick),  Momma Fish wasn't intended to be a serious band. Our first 'gigs' were played on top of a hill that looked out on Renwick, in the hope that people passing through the village would notice us and stop to listen.

Gradually, as we realised our combination of vocals and harmonica (Cal), Guitar (Stu) and tambourine (Mike) worked we decided to go public, by first playing in Renwick and then, with the addition of piano (Mike), backing vocals and songs written by Stuart (and the occasional song by Cal) , doing gigs in the local pub. From then the news of Momma Fish has spread over a surprisingly large area of Cumbria (see Gigs page for details).
