The FOS Brothers are Dave and Sam McCrory from East Belfast, joined by Rom Dobbs an innovative drummer/percussionist from the South West of England. Together they create a unique soundscape of acoustic music heavily influenced by their Irish roots. They have been playing together for over 20 years at Festivals, Art Centres - and any other hole in the ground that will have them. Two CD's are available Without Reason and Off the Boat, they hope to release a new one this year.

A stirring fusion of original and traditional songs on hypnotic acoustic guitars to 21st century dance grooves. (Steve Knightley - Show of Hands

Growing up in Belfast in the 70's the FOS brothers fuse an eclectic mix of Floydie, Genesis, Horselips with trad Irish sensibilities, into something really different. Add drums, samples and percussion to soaring acoustic guitars and you have an act that will entrance any Festival or Art Centre audience."

"Bucolic folk has a psychedelic head-fit"

"You could call the FOS Brothers trad. They do, indeed, play traditional material. But they take that material and twist it, warp it, imbue it with new power and meaning, then deliver it with a force, venom and intensity that sees it approach acid rock...... Literally awesom"
