Artist description Deadfish and the Buttyboys have been together some seven or eight decades now. Individual band members come and go, but the core talent of Deadfish himself and his close circle of supporting musicians has and continues to remain constant. The now legendary films "Yikes" and "Tuesday's got the monkey" shine to this day as the finest examples of Deadfish's acting and composing talent. We are truly honored to have lived as contemporaries of this genious.

Artist History It all started in a cold, muddy trench somewhere in France circa 1914. An entire company of British troops was wiped out in an overwhelming German offensive strike. Fortunately, the boys had managed to evade conscription and were not involved in that dreadful loss of life. They were hiding out in a remote corner of Lime Street were they played for beer money. Eventually, indoor gigs became more frequent until that now famous day in 1916 when Seamus Kelly, the well-known italian music promoter, walked into the Coal Cellar cabaret. You know the rest!

Group Members Influenced by British Music Hall, Burlesque, and the great classical composers, but having no real individual talent, the boys have successfully applied the now ubiquitous brute force, music-by-sheer-numbers approach to artistic development.
