Bob Fox & Stu Luckley

Event information

THEY'RE BACK !!!
Bob Fox & Stu Luckley hit the folk scene back in the day as the most innovative and entertaining of duos on the acoustic Live Music scene. With Bob's mellifluous vocals and great guitar work and Stu playing acoustic bass as if he's just flown in from a rock band, they produced a sound that really hadn't been heard before. We're so pleased that Cubley Hall has been chosen by them to revisit past masterpieces and present their current music which is bang up to date!
READ ON!

After spending 5 years as a floor singer around the many folk clubs in the North East of England as well as being a resident singer at the famous Davylamp Folk Club in Washington, Bob Fox met fellow North Easterner Tom McConville and his career as a professional folk singer/musician began.
1975
In the duo with Tom he toured the vibrant folk club scene of mid 70's Britain playing a mixture of Irish and Scottish dance music and singing mainly traditional songs primarily from their native North East, Tom on fiddle and Bob playing guitar and piano.
After 2 very successful years Bob and Tom parted company and the duo with ex Hedgehog Pie man Stu Luckley was formed.
This proved to be one of the most innovative and highly acclaimed collaborations ever seen on the folkscene.
1978
Bob Fox and Stu Luckley release their first album ‘Nowt So Good’ll Pass ’ which was voted folk album of the year and remains a unique and classic album.
Colin Irwin wrote an article in Melody Maker entitled ‘ A Meeting of Two Minds’ in which he described them as ‘the progressive dynamic duo’ and went on ‘Great White Hopes of Folk are such a rarity you’ll forgive us for making an excessive fuss when we encounter one, two even!’
Following the success of this L.P. Bob and Stu were in great demand and played almost every folk club and festival in the U.K. including Cambridge, Cropredy, Edinburgh, Fylde, Cornwall.
1979/80
Bob and Stu were support artists on major British tours for Richard and Linda Thompson and Ralph Mctell.
The duo also toured Germany, Holland, Australia and New Zealand in their own right and released a second album 'Wish We Never Had Parted.
