Kit Hawes & Aaron Catlow

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 Floydian/Genesis/Horslipian spices.

Their mix of drums, percussion Loops and samples, soaring guitars and bass delight Festival and Venue audiences and that’s before they start singing!

New CD, 'Clear Again' was mastered by Simon Heyworth of Mike Oldfield’s famed production, and is available now for purchase from their website.
