The
Chicken Fisher
Band |
By Martin Fischer © 2006: During
the late '70s and early '80s there was the 3-piece "Chicken Fisher Band"
that toured all through Ireland.
Martin 'Chicken' Fisher, took Organ Pedals and added electronics
that produced the Bass sound functioned by a Minimoog. He then built
a light switch to the Bass Drum Pedal that triggered the impulse to
the Minimoog, the Minimoog which one could then determine attack and
release of the bass sound. The bass pedals would play the note and
the bass drum the syncopation which produced a unique drive within
the band, a system and idea that had never been done before at that
time. Nowadays one has the easy method of solving such with Midi.
Dave Prim, was well known at the time from the Dave Prim Band.
John Forbes was the only black drummer around in 1978! The band later
became a 4-piece with Eoin O'Neill (Moving Hearts) on bass.
