gutted for you all....

shame guys..

fuck me!!
and i don't ever say that lightly ... because the one time i did .. well we won't go there!!

I'm very very surprised to say the least.

Good luck to you Steve (and/or Ryan) ... and hope you all get what you want!

Willow

Really sad to hear that and completely suprised at the same time.

The chemistry was all there to see when I saw you guys. A really tight outfit and very entertaining and all being mates as well it must of been special for you lot !

Real shame, hope to see you all again very soon,

Rick.

Thats a shocker!! and a real shame..enjoyed watching you guys..

Well I feel it's either a sad day or time to move on with the band. Speaking as one of the founding members of the band I have spent the best part of nearly 7 years putting my heart and soul in to it to just give it all up. I mean I'm still trying to get my head around it. So from my point of view I really want the band to carry on with or without Ben. So like Steve said if any body wants to at least give it a try with us then were more than happy for you to give it a go. I just feel that we have put to much time money and effort in over the past 12 months since Steve joined to throw in the towel now. I love playing, and would hate to have to give it all up, but I can't make anybody play for us but if you know any body or fancy it your self check out our vids on our site and get a feel for who we are and what we do. Perhaps someone new will give us a new dimention or direction in which to go. Even maybe a forth member? I'm open to sugestions...

Long live The Fix! And may we live forever!!!!!

Ryan ....... theFix is dead .. long live theFix!

Hopefully!
Willow

Really really sad to hear this guys..............a massive blow for the indie crew! Best wishes to Ben, and good luck to you and Ryan with whatever comes next.

Frankie

real shame lads, i hope it all works out! dont be strangers alreet...!!

John

That's the way it goes guys. I've heard enough about you two to know you'll be out there doing it again soon enough.

Hope the split is friendly. :o)

That's a shame lads, just replied to Ben with a gig for 27th March too. Hope it's all amicable...

all the best for you all in the future lads, all 3 of you,keep plugging away steve and ryan, at least you still got the (wait for it, can never spell this) rythmn section, which is the backbone,good luck,chris.

its sad to hear, we have had some problems ourselves recently, so I know how you guys feel, I hope you sort things out ok, so long as you dont do what I did in the long ago past, I packed up playing altogether big big mistake, somebody needs to keep the name that you have built up, dont just throw it away.

I wish all of you the very best of luck tony

Shame Steve I hope you get sorted soon great to see you want to carry on youve got too much going for you.

i wasnt really gonna comment on this but thought it looked a bit weird everyone talking about me without me commenting, like id died or summat! haha if only eh
the only reason ive left is that as some of you may know i now have a little boy and the workload is just getting a bit too much for me now.
nothing personal against ANYBODY in the band.
these two guys are my closest friends and its not an easy decision to make.
if anybody is reading this blog and thinking about going for it then i urge them to do it.
im shit on guitar but when we play these guys make me better, in every respect.
im not trying to make a fuss or upset anybody but of all the bands ive seen (not just on NWB) this band is THE BEST, im not arguing and its not up for discussion. its my opinion and you chose whether to listen to it or to ignore it. and im sure when theyve got rid of their weakest link (me!) they WILL go from strength to strength.
so whatever they choose to do i wish them all the best. we'll still be gigging for the time being so dont worry all those ben murray haters you still have time to come out and rip me to shreds.
thats about it from me. cheers to all the well wishes and pm's ive had, it means a lot. catch y'all soon

ben - the ex fix

anyways now ive got more time on my hands i might get back to reviewing bands, now where did i put my pen..........
;-)

Ha Ha Ben....still a bit of controversary in there.
Dont go away now.



Aiden

Ben your a good lad. Had to leave WHATEVER for same reasons last year but am back as the bug hit me again. Good luck and look after the family. Also WHATEVER are the best band. Hulk still controversial and knows it>

I don't comment often but had to to this one. Damn shame to hear the news as you guys have seem to have the most passion and most giving community attitude on here. I've heard great things about the band and watched the videos making up my opinion that you rally were as good as I'd heard, but never got the chance to see you.

You'll find a replacement so keep your peckers up and I'll look forward to see you.
