Greg Fouhy
Hi, I'm Greg Fouhy (Not to be mistaken with my Chinese brother Bernard). Most of the time I can be found sitting behind a computer doing boring computer stuff. By night I wake up and become the keyboard player in ITCHYCOO PARK. I was born in 1958 and missed the 60's era of music. Lucky for me I had older brothers and sisters that listened to that stuff and it sort of stuck in my mind. Bernard was a member of a couple of bands and they sometimes practiced in the garage at home. This was really great for a kid in his pre-teens and used to hang around them all the time. I ended up thinking my name was "Go Away Greg". As a kid I had Piano lessons. Not being a natural pianist I spent many hours on the piano with my Cup of Bournvita, torturing everyone else at home. Gave up playing in my Teens, Got married etc etc etc. Few years ago my mum told some people at church that I played piano. Well ended up in a band that lasted for 8 years called Exaltae and did a professional recording and all. When Bernard asked if I would like to play keyboards in Itchycoo park I jumped at the chance. have always adored Hammond-style sound and always in awe of John Lord of Deep Purple. So now I get to play the music from the best era around. I am married to Sandra and you can find her many times at most of our gigs supporting us and letting us all know how the well the sound is balanced. A keen ear that keeps us sounding good.
