Bob Fox: June 22nd 2007
Our friend from the North East has come to be well known on the folk scene for a nifty guitar and a strong yet subtle singing. Almost certainly songs of mining and love, Geordie-style, will be on the menu, but a whole lot more from this versatile singer.

Bob is a local lad and blessed with one of the best voices you will ever hear. He is also a very talented musician playing guitar, piano and dulcimer. Add to that a full and varied repertoire of traditional and modern songs and plenty of good ’crack’ and you can be sure of a good night. Terry Freeman - Davylamp Folk Club
