All The King's Fools

Gypsy music for Jesus! (We're delightfully mad!)

About Me


...if Foolishness is the antithesis to wisdom
then it needs to be heard in order to know wisdom
...if Foolishness is wisdom itself
then it simply needs to be heard
-All The King’s Fools
In the latter half of the first decade of the 21st century, the Fools brought back to life the lost tradition of the Yurodivye. With our polka dots, stripy stockings, plaid pants and various hats, we dug into the depths of an untrodden territory- the psyche of the Fool. We came out, slightly battered, mildly splattered and madly hattered, with our first offering-
St. Harlequin’s Confessions .
Now in the first part of the eighth year of the century succeeding the twentieth AD, we are preparing a new batch of Foolery for your enjoyment. There will be skeletons, Jack in a Boxes, playing cards, possums, and of course, a Fool. Please keep checking back for news of the things to come. But for now, we’ll leave you with this quote from a madman:
"I asked Life what she had to offer me. She told me the only guarantee she could make me was Death."
