Great to read that Fish plans a Convention in late 2016 as he mentioned on Facebook!
“The writing sessions for ‘Weltschmerz’ i had planned for September and October got lost in the work overload and I made the decision to cut out all touring options next year and concentrate on the new album.This means that ‘Weltschmerz’ will not be out until early 2017. This also means the dates in November and December this year will be my last shows for a while with the only potential stage appearances fan club conventions very late 2016 to preview the new material.”
He’s said on Facebook yesterday that after the next bunch of dates, that there will be no more shows for at least a year, whether the convention is classed as shows I don’t know?
Even when he has ‘quit’ the music scene, I’d like to think he would pull out the odd show or Convention now and again. - That’s just wishful thinking though.
There’s a interview with Fish in the latest Iron Maiden fan club magazine, saying that he’s now looking at 2018 to call it a day, but might resurrect the 3-piece fisheads club from time to time.
I’ll try to scan it and post it on here. Looks like he was interviewed Novemberish but it’s only just been sent out today.
