A band that seems to defy any genre or mold, Fozz have evolved but have stubbornly refused to compromise their musical freedom.
Here's a little bit about the individuals who make up this acclaimed band:
Tony has been playing drums for more years than he cares to recall. He has played with a number of original bands as well as covers, cutting his teeth on the function and club circuit as a teenager.
More recently, Tony has been playing sessions for bands alongside his work with Fozz.
John currently plays bass for Fozz along with a number of other bands. He and Tony have been playing together in one form or another for 30 years!
Cathy plays sax in Fozz - but her talents don't end there! Cathy plays a number of instruments both in the studio and live, including guitar.
Elliot has been writing and performing songs since he was a teenager. He is the front-man of the band, plays guitar and more recently has also taken up producing.
Fozz have been writing and performing songs since 2000. They've won awards and critical acclaim and continue to turn out songs that take on a life of their own.
The eclectic mix of styles, musical influences and often darkly funny lyrics has given them a loyal fan-base - many of whom have been screaming at them to release a new album. So that's just what they're doing! Fozz have completed their long-awaited second album, aptly titled 'Start Again' and it's available from 31st of May 2018 on all major platforms.
Fozz have been in the studio writing and recording for two years, working on their new album and... a follow up!! Yes, you wait for an album for years and then two come along at once.
John Wilkes (bass) said
'We just found that once we started it was like we'd opened the floodgates. And then we became so engaged in the new songs that we realised we needed to pause and get something out there'.
The new album, 'Start Again' is a self-produced work.
Cathy Fagan (sax) said
'The first album, Dates, Mates & Carving Knives was pretty unique. It blended a range of musical styles. Start Again takes that one step further. We really wanted to create something that pleased our fans, but also pleased us!'
