WEDNESDAY 10th JUNE BOB FOX
For almost 50 years, Bob Fox has been regarded as one of the iconic voices of British folk song. His career began in his native North-East during the vibrant folk revival and he has become one of the most highly rated and best-loved singer/guitarists in the UK and beyond. Masterful interpretation of traditional and contemporary song, combined with an outstanding guitar technique, has earned him countless nominations in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards over the years. Bob played the role of Songman for over four years in The National Theatre’s West End production of War Horse and in two subsequent touring versions. Bob is a consummate performer with a warm stage presence and great sense of humour.
‘Velvet voice, lovely guitar work, wonderful songs, don’t miss him “down South”' (Dartford Folk Club)
‘As soon as I heard Bob Fox sing I realised he must have one of the best voices in England, I have always regarded him as an artist of great ability and integrity’ (Ralph McTell)
