Phatfish are immense
Phatfish were awesome. Lou's voice is every bit as amazing outside the studio as it is in. And the rest of the band don't let her down either. And I'm challenged by the humility of the guys - playing in Bognor! I was more excited about the prospect of seeing them than I was at seeing Switchfoot live at the Shepherd's Bush Empire in the sold-out, only UK appearance of their last European tour. (And I enjoyed it more as well)
Shame about the speakers, who seemed to place the locus of authority for their talk in the prophecy of Wigglesworth, rather than the bible.
It was a pretty small crowd, with many who looked as though a journey home on the bus wouldn't cost them a penny. (I saw a fairly aged guy alternately clapping his hands and knees with such obvious pleasure it was delightful.)
Maybe it's their theology. Maybe it's their musicality. Maybe it's the originality. Maybe it's their humility. Maybe it's Luke's beard. Whatever it is, Phatfish are immense.

Why are you so rude about Bognor? You are as patronising as your father before you… lots of lovely people of all ages live in Bognor! What better place to play?
I lived there for 6 months in my teens - and I loved it! Not least for the daily swimming opportunities over the road from the front door in Marine Drive West.
For locus I presume one should read focus? (para 2 line 2)

I’m not questioning that lovely people live in Bognor.
And I meant locus (same root as locality), as in the place they took as the source of authority for what they were saying.
