Event information
Another Black Swan favourite returns to the club. For almost 50 years BOB FOX has been regarded as one of “the iconic voices” of British folk song. HIs career began during the vibrant “folk revival” of the 60s and 70s and he has become one of the most highly rated and best loved singer/guitarists both in the UK and beyond.
Masterful interpretation of traditional and contemporary song combined with an outstand-ing 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 4 years in The National Theatre’s West End pro-duction of WarHorse and in two subsequent touring versions.
He can also be heard singing extensively with John Tams and Barry Coope on the new Radio Ballads commissioned by the BBC, has completed several sell out UK tours as one of the Pitmen Poets and most recently has joined HOME SERVICE as lead singer.
Don’t miss the chance to see and hear one of our finest exponents of story telling through song, expect to hear of love, joy, work and humour all accompanied by a wonderful guitar style that can both drive or embellish his supreme singing.
