Edinburgh Folk Club’s weekly folk nights continue in 2024 with a wealth of talent.
Celebrating its 50th year at the heart of the capital’s traditional music scene, the beloved Club lights up Wednesday nights at Edinburgh’s Ukrainian Community Centre, bringing together performers and music lovers from all generations and backgrounds.
On Wednesday 1st May, we welcome one of the iconic voices of British folk song, Bob Fox.
Deeply influenced by the working class culture and industrial folk song prevalent in his native County Durham, Bob has become a first rate exponent of storytelling through song.
Bob's masterful interpretation of traditional and contemporary song combined with an outstanding guitar technique has also earned him countless nominations in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards over the years. He has long been a favourite on the live circuit both as a solo artist and in his many highly successful collaborations, which include a duo with Billy Mitchell (Lindisfarne), the BBC New Radio Ballads series, and The Pitmen Poets (with Jez Lowe, Billy Mitchell and Benny Graham).
Don't miss a chance to experience Bob's warm, rich voice, virtuoso guitar style and newly acquired melodeon playing skill. Expect to hear songs of love, joy, work and humour as he performs material from WarHorse, newly written songs from the New Radio Ballad series and old favourites from his many recordings.
