Chain of Fools on the BBC Stage at Kenilworth Festival's Party in the Park

Based in Warwickshire, formed in late 1997. The repertoire primarily consists of popular soul songs in the Motown/Stax vein, originally recorded by artists such as Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye et al. Originally taking inspiration from the arrangements of The Commitments and The Blues Brothers, Chain Of Fools have developed their own unique sound. Live, the band are a sharply-dressed, energetic spectacle with a 2kW sound system, sophisticated lightshow and interval music as required. Currently enjoying a strong reputation on the local pub circuit, Chain Of Fools are also very much in demand for weddings and birthday parties with numerous confirmed bookings until the end of the year, they often provide corporate entertainment at The NEC and Metropole Hotel, Birmingham.
