Bob Fox: The Warhorse Song Man

An Evening with Bob Fox

One of the UK’s finest exponents of storytelling through song, BOB FOX is deeply influenced by the working class culture and industrial folk song prevalent in his native County Durham.

For over 40 years he has toured extensively throughout the UK, Europe, USA, New Zealand and Australia, performing mostly solo but also alongside such musical heavyweights as Ralph McTell, Richard Thompson, Billy Mitchell and Fairport Convention.

Twice nominated as Best Folk Singer in the BBC Folk Awards, Bob has long been a favourite on the live circuit.

Bob played the role of SONGMAN in The National Theatre’s multi-award winning West End production of WarHorse and subsequently in the highly acclaimed and record breaking UK, Ireland and South Africa touring version which ended in February this year.

Bob has created a brand new concert performance of all of the WarHorse songs in their full versions combined with some newly written songs from the BBC Radio 2 Ballad of the Great War and including old favourites from his many previous recordings.

Come and experience his warm, rich voice, virtuoso guitar style and newly acquired melodeon playing skill as he talks and sings through the story of WarHorse.
