FOS Brothers

A relaxed summers evening for all the family.

Growing up in Belfast in the 70’s the FOS brothers fuse an eclectic mix of their own original songs with traditional Irish sensibilities flavoured liberally with Genesis/Horslipian spices.

Highly recommended to lovers of folk music with a progressive twist. They move seamlessly from tear jerking Irish ballads to full on Floydian space rock.

Dave left Ireland at the age of 19 to study at Oxford Polytechnic and Sam came over 4 years later to form the band. They met Rom Dobbs and have collaborated with him for 25 + years. Rom started out in punk bands and developed an fascination with world music when living in Devon near Dartington College where his dad was head of music department. Pete Bingham is best known for his band Waulk Elektrik who became very popular on the Roots music circuit in the 90’s.

They are a right bunch of characters all weird in their own way but managing to merge into a wall of sound when let loose on stage.

Hard to button hole their appeal sometimes as they move seamlessly from tear jerking Irish ballads to full on rocked out Floydian space rock – they are equally happy with a pin drop silence Arts Centre or a bouncing Festival Marquee. They adapt their set to suit the audience always aiming to have a shared experience and an uplifting evening
