[FM] Bob Fox 4/29 Berkeley House Concert

[Sally Greenberg]

Hi All,

Many, many thanks for all of the great support this month with 2 sell-out 
concerts for Priscilla Herdman and what is now close to a sell-out for Tony 
McManus (3 seats left)!

Presenting the last in my marathon of April concerts...

Bob Fox will be performing a concert at my house on Sunday, April 29th!

Bob is an incredible singer from the North East of England.  This will be 
Bob's first tour of the US, and it'll be terrific to have him here.  Bob 
has a wonderful voice and a great choice of material.  His repertoire is 
split between traditional music and contemporary songs written by others 
(including "Slip Jigs & Reels" by Steve Tilston and "Greek Lightening" by 
Jez Lowe).  I've never seen Bob live, but I was sold on the basis of a 
concert tape that he sent me.  I *really* wanted to be there!  Bob recently 
spent a over a month touring England with Fairport Convention as their 
special guest.

A text copy of the concert flyer is attached at the end of this message.

First trip to the US for this wonderful English singer of traditional & 
contemporary song!

Although this will be Bob Fox's first trip to the US, he is no stranger to 
the British folk scene.  This year marks his 25th year as a professional 
folk singer/musician.  He has a gorgeous voice and has an incredible talent 
for breathing new life into traditional songs and for coming up with 
wonderful arrangements of contemporary songs, frequently with a bit of a 
folk-rock edge.  This tour celebrates the release of his new solo CD.

Bob started his career performing as a duo with Tom McConville, and 
subsequently formed a duo with Stu Luckley.  Bob and Stu's partnership 
resulted in 3 highly praised albums, the first of which was voted Folk 
Roots Folk Album of the Year.  Bob was also the singer/keyboard player in 
the Celtic Band "The Rub" and in the Vin Garbutt Band.  Bob has been Folk 
Artist in Residence for the District of Blyth Valley and Music Development 
Worker for Easington District Council.  Along with Benny Graham, he 
produced a CD and slide show celebrating the rich and varied culture of the 
coal mining communities of Durham and Northumberland.  Bob (solo or with 
Stu) has played festivals and venues throughout the UK, including 
Cambridge, Cropredy, Edinburgh, Fylde, Cornwall, and has been a support 
artist on major British tours for Fairport Convention, Richard & Linda 
Thompson, and Ralph McTell.

"Fox has always been one of the scene's superior singers and his voice is 
as confident and ebullient as ever."  Colin Irwin, Folk Roots Magazine

" and from Bob Fox, surely one of the great voices of the whole of the 
Folk Revival, several definitive performances of some great songs."  John 
Muirhead, Living Tradition Magazine

"Bob is 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."  Terri Freeman, Davylamp 
Folk Club
