he Fuchsias

Are an instrumental project created by Bobby Fage and Stephen Ingham in Brighton, England in 2018. An ambient alternative rock outfit of guitars, layered rhythms and shimmering ambient noise contrasting the dark and the light, treading the unusual balance of hypnotic and unpredictable at the same time.

Bobby Fage and Steve Ingham first met in 2003 when a mutual friend brought them together for some improvised experimental ambient gigs at the Prince Albert and what was once the old Freebutt in Brighton: Ingham was playing tabla and percussion through a warped desk, Fage playing ethereal distortion on guitar. Steve went on to record and tour with Dark Horses and Holy Magick for a decade among other projects. Fage studied Music and Visual Art degree in Brighton and then undertook a Masters in Composing for Film in Kingston, having released material under various monikers: The Challenge and The Report to Sorsha on the now defunked Soundseasymusic label on the album ’Towards Nova Zembla’ in 2005, he began to employ more experimental methods in his subsequent work inspired by the use of music concrete and processing of organic sound recordings.

Eight of Fage's compositions were created for the installation pieces ‘Recall’ and ‘Treasure Island’ (2009) in Portsmouth and Romney, UK and ‘Mysteres des Memoires’ (2010) in the Midi Pyrenees, France by visual artist Seran Kubisa.

Fage and Ingham were reunited in 2018 and with extra synthesisers and mixing by Bob Earland (credits including Roots Manuva, Wiley, Kate Tempest) The Fuchsias debut EP ‘Isle’ was released in January 2023.

Later the same year the rare vocal talent of Siobhan Lynch joined The Fuchsias and work began work on a new album.

Bringing an ethereal, magical presence to the music the vocals of Lynch on the two track release of 'In the room' and 'I would require you' would 

​steer The Fuchsias onto a truly meaningful path.
