And the Question Remains

And the Question Remains by Big Hard Excellent Fish. Words written and spoken by Josie Jones, Music by Ian.C

In 1989 dancer Michael Clark approached Josie Jones and Jake Walters of Big Hard Excellent Fish to write a piece of music for his forthcoming work with the Phoenix Dance Company. Josie, formerly a member of Pete Wylie’s Mighty Wah! asked Pete to work with them on this and the ‘Imperfect List’ was born: a sober, chilling - and very heartfelt cry and denouncement of Britain’s then-ill’s.

After many requests in subsequent years to ‘update’, it was not until 2011 when approached by One Little Indian that Big Hard Excellent Fish decided that the time was right, the resulting track is ‘And The Question Remains’, written by Josie and Ian.C.

DontDoDainty was commissioned to create a metal wreath (in honour of Josies mother) for the cover of the EP photographed by Jake Walters.

‘And The Question Remains’, written by Josie and Ian C is accompanied by two very different alternate versions – the Silver Bullet version with music by Erik Legrang and Nina Walsh and the Rootmasters version with music by Ian C and James Clancy.
