Found this BBC (Songs of Praise) reference using Google. Workplace web-filtering system prevents opening the site! (Grrrrrr)

Songs of Praise factsheet for Sunday 14 January 2007
Women Hymn Writers
Presented by Pam Rhodes
General:
Pam Rhodes celebrates the contribution that women make to inspirational Christian music. She meets the Hymn writer whose composition helped the Queen celebrate her Golden Jubilee, a singer who gains her inspiration from Saint Columba's Lindisfarne and a modern hymn writer who was drawn to faith by joining a church choir. Hymns all written by women include Blessed Assurance, Just as I am, and When I was Lost.
Interviews:

KATE SIMMONDS . Until very recently, Kate and her husband Miles headed up the large worship team at Church of Christ the King, Brighton where a number of other well-known worship leaders and songwriters - Stuart Townend, Dave Fellingham, Paul Oakley and Phatfish - are also based, but in December 2006 they moved to Sydney, Australia to be part of Bridgeway Community Church in Northern Beaches, part of New Frontiers, to help build the local church.
As well as appearing on numerous live worship albums she has released three solo albums: a live worship album, 'Redemption Songs' (2005), 'Heart and Soul', (2002) a mixture of congregational worship songs and faith-building contemporary songs, and 'One day' (2000).
OK, so it's not much of a reference, but it does include the phrase 'well known' and is from an extremely trusted source. We just need a few more...

Tone

[edit]

The article's wording needs to be changed (e.g. 'the band felt stirred')... POV/original research, needs to be more encyclopedic with all claims and descriptions properly sourced. ~Eliz81(C) 06:52, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i will reword article and info and source things when i have the time. all the stuff i and others have written is taken off reputable sources like townend, phatfish, survivor/kingsway sites etc. but i dont have the time to source it atm. i will also reword article as i see what you mean :)

-- The tone of the article is still vague in places, and could be made more objective. For example:

  • "Phatfish have recently honed a more worship orientated sound". What does this mean? (Gregorian plainchant perhaps?)
  • "Lou Fellingham sometimes harmonises whilst leading worship, attempting to lift certain parts of the songs such as in "There Is A Day", taking up the word's "Air" and "Yeah" into a higher key." It is factual to say that she harmonises, it is not factual to say that she sometimes sings in a different key. - Humblebum75 (talk) 12:01, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No Longer Active?

[edit]

Given that the Phatfish website states that the band's recent two concerts "...marked the end of a distinguished career for the band, which started in 1994" shouldn't this article be updated accordingly to indicate that the band is no longer active?
