Greg Fouhy


Hi I am Greg the keyboard player for Itchycoo Park. A little musical history about myself. Did the normal thing as a kid of going to piano lessons with my mums prompting. I was brought up with the 60's era music as i had older brothers and sisters that played it all the time on their stereos. Learnt a bit of modern method piano playing in my young teens and let it drop when I discovered girls and motorbikes. Marriage and kids and mortgage kept my interests away from playing music but not from listening to it. Deep Purple have always been a band I adore and I so love the magic that Jon Lord plays on his Hammond B3.

Well to cut a long story short I started playing again when I was about 36 and believe me it was not good. Sort of pushed into it by a few un named people into a church music group that really made me stretch my lack of abilities. Was then I developed the interest more into the classic organ type sounds.

When approached by my brother Bernard to be a foundation member of Itchycoo Park I was excited, but also scared shitless as I would be playing not in front of a not as sympathic Audiance. Well I was so wrong to be worried as this journey is still as exciting but not as scarey as the first gig we performed.

Oh yeah Hammond tone wheel organ sounds rock.
