About

theBigFish are six West Lancashire Mountain boys - although sometimes five, and, rarely, four WLMB - who will kick up a storm with their irreverent take on country, rock, folk and, er, skiffle classcs!!
Five exceedingly talented musicians and a guy who thrashes an acoustic guitar and shouts into a mic, tBF are the ideal band for your venue / party, guaranteeing a damn good time to be had by all!!
