The Fores
The band started when bass player and lead singer Guy Snowdon asked Liam Hopkins (Rhythm Guitar) if he wanted to join a band. Liam accepted and recommended that Tom Iliffe (Lead guitarist) be asked too. Having previously enjoyed some songwriting sessions with Liam, Tom also accepted and brought with him drummer and close friend Shaun Lee and after weeks of searching for a singer Guy stepped up and took the duties.
"We then set out to play wherever would have us, whenever we could and played our first gig on the side of a lorry/truck in 2005. We then recorded some original songs and secured a second gig at The Cavern in Liverpool" (made famous by The Beatles).
The band write and play all of their own music and have recorded 2 batches of songs with plans of regular recording sessions through-out the year. They have played many gigs including Barfly, The Cavern twice (In Liverpool), Bar Academy and many more! They also got into the Regional Finals of the “Surface Unsigned Festival” after being chosen out of thousands of bands and picked up some great reviews from the BBC and had a fantastic time! Also in October 2008 they had one of their songs played at ANFIELD Liverpool Football Stadium at half time to crowds of 45.000
"We are all down to earth fun loving people who love our music! We have recently added our new drummer Carl Brooker when our drummer Shaun made a move to live in London."
Since they formed The Fores have had many highlights and have future ambitions to keep writing and playing music whilst having a good time along the way.
