Immaculate Fools were a pop group formed in 1984, who had their biggest success in 1985 with the single "Immaculate Fools", and continued until 1997, releasing six studio albums before splitting up. In 2015 Kevin Weatherill reformed the group with new members. ==Formation, album history and tours== The band was formed in Kent, England by two sets of brothers: Kevin Weatherill (vocals, guitar) and Paul Weatherill (bass, vocals), and brothers Andy Ross (guitar) and Peter Ross (drums), the sons of saxophonist Ronnie Ross.〔Larkin, Colin (1995) ''The Guinness Encyclopedia of Popular Music'', Guinness Publishing, ISBN 0-85112-662-6〕 The band's single "Immaculate Fools" reached #51 in the UK Singles Chart in January 1985.〔 Their debut album, ''Hearts of Fortune'', reached #65 in the UK Albums Chart the same year.〔(Immaculate Fools ), Chart Stats〕 The band toured Europe extensively, building a strong following in Spain, where they made several television appearances.〔 In 1987 the band's second album, ''Dumb Poet,'' was well received by critics (including a five-star review in ''Sounds'' magazine), although it did not repeat the first album's commercial success.〔 The album did, however, give the band a second charting single with "Tragic Comedy." The band underwent a major line-up change when the Ross brothers left, with Barry Wickens (violin), Brian Betts (guitar), Paul Skidmore (drums) and Ian Devlin (keyboards) joining for the ''Another Man's World'' album.〔 The band set up a recording studio in a farmhouse (Woodhouse) on the Welsh borders near Ludlow. For the band's final two albums, ''Woodhouse'' and ''Kiss and Punch'', the Weatherill brothers were joined by Wickens, Betts, and Nick Thomas (drums).〔 They continued to record music and occasionally tour until they formally split up in 1997. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Immaculate Fools」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
