THE NEW FOOLS

Founded in 1981, but a Bob Dylan Tribute band as from 2006.

Ben, Yves and Muddy Jack founded The New fools in 1981.
The trio then played skiffle and blues and called themselves "Bick Dick and his Bluesy Twins".

In 1988, Jan Hendriks joined the band, playing keyboards and organ. "Piek" came to play his bassguitar.
The band then was called "The Mighty Foremen".

In 1992 the band was called "After the flood"

It is 1993 as band is called "The New Fools", Ben Van Kemenade then plays the bass, and Werner Cox is on Lead Guitar

After years of bassguitar from 'Piek', then Ben and then Thieu, in 1994 Luc Govers was asked to play with the Fools for one gig.
But they cannot get rid off the guy, an he's still with the band.

Not much later, Willy Mertens replaces Werner Cox on lead guitar, and Dirk Lehaen joins the band to play the rythm guitar.

In 2000, The Fools were 'extended' with backing vocals (Sandra, Heidi, Heidi, Kristien) and a brass section (Steven, Koen, Koen, Stefan, Daniëlle).
Playing soul music and old hits, the fools made a crowd of 1500 swing as well as they did a café.

In 2002 return to their basics, no more backing vocals or brass section.

In 2006 the band democratically decides to play only songs from mister Dylan, and with succes.
