THE FOOKAREWEES ARE A TRIO, IFFY ON LEAD GUITAR [LES PAUL][FIREBIRD]AND[STRATS] AND VARIOUS ACOUSTICS. IAN [IFFY] IS AN EXCELENT LEAD GUITARISTOF THE HIGHEST QUALITY[YEAYOU'VE HEARD IT BEFORE] BUT IN THIS CASE IT'S REALY TRUE, HE HAS AN UNCANNY KNACK TO IMPROVISE AND WHATEVER COMES OUT IS STUNNINNG, THATS WHY THE FOOKAREWEES ARE SO GOOD THEY MAKE SOME REAL MUSIC AS REMINISENT OF CREAM, HENDRIX, GALLAGER,AND MANY OF THE GREATS... LES THE DRUMMER , WELL WHAT CAN YOU SAY ALL ROUND GOOD DRUMMER AND PERCUSSIONIST AND PLAYS MENY OTHER INSTRUMENTS BUT HIS LOVE FOR DRUMS AND DRUMMING SHOWS A VOCALIST ALSO.... THEN THERES ANDY A BASS PLAYER WHO CAN JUST ADAPT TO ANY STYLE, [AND OFTEN DOSE] AS MANY TIMES WE JUST JAM AND IT COMES TOGETHER SO WELL WHICH CANNOT BE SHOWN ON OUR CD. LIGHT BLUE TOUCH PAPER AND STAND WELL NEAR .. PS ANDY CAME TO US AFTER WE SUFFERED A LOT OF LET DOWNS AND FITTED LIKE A GLOVE... ANDY WHO ALSO PLAYES LEAD, RYTHEM, SLIDE, AND BANJO [MINUS THE DUNGAREES!!!!!!!!!!! THATS THE FOOKAREWEES WHO WERE FORMALLY ZEST.....
Influences
ALL THE GREATS, HENDRIX,STEVIE RAY VAUGHN,CREAM, AND ALL THE OTHERS THAT YOU CAN THINK OF. BUT WE SOUND LIKE NONE OF THEM,WE SOUND LIKE OURSEVES!!THE INFLUENCE COMES FROM WITHIN THROUGH INNOVATION AND THE ABILITY TO BLEND AND HAVE NON PRETENCIOUS FUN...........
Sounds Like
ourselves.but it is often said after gigs that there is a flavour of all the above .but in our style..
We'll be at Moonfest with bells on. Not literally, as that would be stupid, but we'll definitely be there. Probably without bells though. Unless you want us to wear bells? We're open to requests.
Ahh thanks guys,just noticed i'm in your top friends...i feel honoured! Has Jim booked you up to play at The Sir Winston yet,if not i shall get on his case!!
Fantastic pics guys. keep up the hard work because you guys are brilliant, awesome, superb. The best in your field, but then there is a cow and 2 sheep there as well. Hahaha!! Seriously the best of the best as far as we are concerned.
