One of the best bands that never was. The British band Immaculate Fools became so popular in Spain that they eventually moved there. Formed in London, England, in 1984, the Immaculate Fools was comprised of Kevin Weatherill (lead vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonica, bass), Paul Weatherill (acoustic bass, backing vocals, percussion), Brian Betts (acoustic guitar, slide guitar, percussion, mandolin), Barry Wickens (violin, dulcimer, acoustic guitar, accordion) and Nick Thomas (drums).
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Good song, arguably one of the easiest on the whole ‘Dumb Poet’ album to tab. Easy for a guitar player, in that it helps teach moving from one chord to another especially on Chorus, instead of those drab CD guitar lessons that have you playing one chord for 80 and calling that progress. As always, improvements are always welcome! ENJOY!
