Henry Fool (band)

Henry Fool (band)

Henry Fool are an English rock band. The core members of the band are Tim Bowness (vocals, guitars) and Stephen Bennett (keyboards, guitar). Other members - at various times - have been Michael Bearpark (guitar), Peter Chilvers (bass guitar, keyboards, guitar), Myke Clifford (saxophones, flute), and drummers Fudge Smith (Pendragon/Steve Hackett Band), Huxflux Nettermalm (Paatos), Andrew Booker, Richard Osbourne and Diego Mancini.

Henry Fool's music draws on 1970s British progressive rock but with other influences drawn from 1980s art-rock, 1990s post-rock and elsewhere.

The band has released one album to date - 2001's self-titled, "Henry Fool".

The musicians in the band are generally associated with other projects, most notably Bowness' work as singer of No-Man and Bennett's as keyboard player with LaHost, but other associated projects are Darkroom, Samuel Smiles, Fire Thieves, Improvizone and the Tim Bowness/Peter Chilvers duo.

The band is named after the Hal Hartley film.
