The Fores is a rock band out of Leicestershire, UK. The band started when bass player and lead singer Guy Snowdon asked Liam Hopkins (Rhythm Guitar & Backing Vocals) 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).

We write and play all of our own music, except the odd cover song at live gigs and have recorded 2 batches of songs with plans of more in the pipeline, we are always trying to expand our back catalogue, so keep on listening for updates! Since we formed we have played many gigs including Barfly, The Cavern three times (In Liverpool), Bar Academy and many more! We 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 we had one of our 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.  Since we have formed The Fores have had many highlights (most in our blog on our site) and have future ambitions to keep writing/playing our music, become a successful band and have a good time along the way.
