Louise when you formed you were known as Purple, what is the story behind the change of name?
We were originally called 'Purple Phatfish' which came from a keyring. Someone had a keyring that was a big, purple fish and that's what gave the inspiration. We then, about a year later decided that 'Phatfish' was a little snappier, and just decided to change it! Nothing exciting I'm afraid!

 

What type of music would you describe yourselves as producing?
At the moment, our style is rock/pop. Lyrically the songs are based around our faith, giving worship to God. The heart behind our music is that people will be drawn closer to God through the songs he has given us.

What other Christian artists do you listen to in your spare time?
We tend to listen to all kinds of music. Secular as well as Christian. Within the Christian scene I prefer to listen to worship music, such as Matt Redman, some of the vineyard stuff etc..

The new album Purple Through the Fishtank went straight in at the top of the Premier UK contemporary charts, did you expect the album to be so succesfull?
It was very exciting that the album hit the charts so successfully. We are looking forward to seeing what God has in store for it.

You were previously part of the Stoneligh Worship band, do you still perform at worship events?
We are still part of the Stoneleigh Worship band and feel that it is an integral part of who we are. We therefore are still playing at various worship events as well as doing events in our own name as 'Phatfish'.

Well Thanks Louise I'm sure our web friends cant wait to hear about what you guys are doing, thanks very much and good luck with any future releases.
