Bob Fox
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 outstanding 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 production of War Horse 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 storytelling 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.
Lewis Inchley
Lewis Inchley is a guitar-focused singer-songwriter based in York. His sets include original songs, alongside unique acoustic takes on classic songs by artists such as Queen, Sinatra, and Neil Young. Lewis draws guitar influence from players such as Tommy Emmanuel and Emil Ernebro, and is known for combining clear vocals with detailed fingerstyle guitar arrangements, often in non-standard tunings.
Lilian
Lilian is a Leeds-based folk singer, songwriter, and storyteller known for her "haunting" vocals, traditional English folk songs, and, on occasion, her use of the concertina. A Leeds Conservatoire graduate, Lilian began collating songs for her debut album way back at the beginning of 2020, just as she was nearing the end of her degree. Three years and a lot of hard work later, 'Pareidolia', was published in October 2023.
Join Lilian and enjoy these tales of folk and fae, ghosts and grievers, and good old supernatural encounters.
