It’s a fair question, as is what is Fool’s Gold? FG is, as the simplest answer, an acoustic duo playing original songs which sound a lot like traditional folk music. Steve and Carol Robson make up Fool’s Gold and between them play a lot of instruments both live and in the studio; there’s a list below for those who are interested in that sort of thing. More important than the instruments is the music. The songs are nearly all narrative – that is they have a story to tell. The words and the music try to get that story across and in a way that enjoyable, fun and instrumentally challenging – that keeps us on our toes. That’s why there are often instrumental passages and asides running alongside sing-along choruses. We’re out to have fun and don’t see why you shouldn’t have some too.
