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