What happens when a sold-out show has tech issues and still becomes one of your favourite nights? We open up about the final Mammal Not Fish gig, the moment our in-ears died mid-medley, and how a quick pivot, a well-timed bridge, and a sexy jazzy sax improv turned near-disaster into electricity. Then we share the bittersweet call to end the band’s live chapter where it began, and why that doesn’t mean the music is over—unreleased tracks and remote sessions may yet see the light.

Away from the stage, we shift into making: MnF Productions is live, and Davey is deep into Tales from the Mammal Frequency, a one-man audio drama series inspired by Twilight Zone and Black Mirror. Writing, performance, sound design—the works. It’s a new creative lane built on storytelling, mood, and late-night listening, and we talk through how it will roll out.

Life outside the studio got a moment too. Hannah’s Tenerife trip brought quiet pools, big slides, and a sky tour where Saturn’s rings and the Andromeda Galaxy felt almost close. Health-wise, colonoscopy results came back clear—relief, yes, and still no neat answer. Family updates include a birthday and a remarkably quick recovery from knee surgery. And then the big curveball: Ancestry DNA. Years of assuming Irish roots gave way to a very English profile with a Viking tint, plus a trait report that nailed hitchhiker’s thumbs and missed on dairy. We get honest about what data can tell you, what it can’t, and how identity lives between genetics and everyday life.

If you enjoy candid tour stories, creative pivots, travel notes, and a surprising DNA reveal, you’ll feel at home here. Follow, share with a friend who loves music and storytelling, and leave a review to help more curious listeners find us.
