I have stated in the preface to the first Edition of this work, and in the Zoology of the Voyage of the Beagle, that it was in consequence of a wish expressed by Captain Fitz Roy, of having some scientific person on board, accompanied by an offer from him of giving up part of his own accommodations, that I volunteered my services, which received, through the kindness of the hydrographer, Captain Beaufort, the sanction of the Lords of the Admiralty.
As I feel that the opportunities which I enjoyed of studying the Natural History of the different countries we visited, have been wholly due to Captain Fitz Roy, I hope I may here be permitted to repeat my expression of gratitude to him; and to add that, during the five years we were together, I received from him the most cordial friendship and steady assistance.

Just young lads!

Awww look, the bubblehouse lads playing a gig at Penrith Youth Club back in December 1991.

Short, neatly coiffed hair, with one exception of course, and tidy stage apparel (though this didn’t last too long judging by some of the other photos in the image galleries)!

A strange gig this… Our support were a young band from Ullswater Community College. They were a bit star-struck with bubblehouse, all bought copies of our Sticks and Stones demo, and insited we all sign it!

The home of the hits…

As I feel that the opportunities which I enjoyed of studying the Natural History of the different countries we visited, have been wholly due to Captain Fitz Roy, I hope I may here be permitted to repeat my expression of gratitude to him; and to add that, during the five years we were together, I received from him the most cordial friendship and steady assistance. Both to Captain Fitz Roy and to all the Officers of the Beagle [1] I shall ever feel most thankful for the undeviating kindness with which I was treated during our long voyage. This volume contains, in the form of a Journal, a history of our voyage, and a sketch of those observations in Natural History and Geology, which I think will possess some interest for the general reader.

I have in this edition largely condensed and corrected some parts, and have added a little to others, in order to render the volume more fitted for popular reading; but I trust that naturalists will remember, that they must refer for details to the larger publications which comprise the scientific results of the Expedition.

The Zoology of the Voyage of the Beagle includes an account of the Fossil Mammalia, by Professor Owen; of the Living Mammalia, by Mr. Waterhouse; of the Birds, by Mr. Gould; of the Fish, by the Rev. L. Jenyns; and of the Reptiles, by Mr. Bell.

Rich – uber roadie!

No band is complete, or able to get ‘on the road’ properly with a decent road crew. Ours came in the shape of Rich ‘the man with the van’ Harrison…

Rich had many job including selling our demos at gigs, un-official guitar tech, finder of toothsome strumpets, protector from over-eager fans and groupies… and being a roadie too of course!

The early ‘La’ years!

An early image of the bubblehouse boys taking a well earned, if not rather posed, break from rehearsals. This pic was taken outside Simon Bliss’ house near Hutton-in-the-Forest. Look at the coiffed hair, and immaculate atire!

The new bubblehouse website!

Our official new website, and the only place for info about your favourite old Penrith band from the 90’s, bubblehouse.

Over the next few weeks we’ll add all kinds of new stuff to the website including new images, blog posts, music clips, and maybe even a video or two (if we can track them down).
