I have recently heard a couple of tracks from a band called Ship o' Fools. Does anyone know who they are. are they still going and are any records/cd's available? Grateful for any info...

In 1974 Jerry Garcia recorded a title by this name on two albums; "Mars Hotel" and "Steal Your Face."

It is also the title (by Katherin Porter)of an allegorical book (personally I don't recommend it very highly, but then again in Jr. High perhaps 90% of the allusions relating to a world headed towards WWII were beyond my scope at the time.

Currently, there are are muliple soundtracks making reference to this title....which has Medieval Roots.

Sorcha,

Thanks very much for the homepage of Ship of Fools (not Ship o' Fools as I had thought). This is definitely the band I heard some years ago and it's good to get some info on them. Thanks also to other contributors.....
