Uncle Bob

Based in St Albans. Been around singing Blues'n'Stuff around the periphery for more years than I care to remember. Played in Jazz bands and Skiffle groups in the 50s, on the London and suburban folk scene in the 60s and the St Albans folk scene in the 70s and 80s. Resident singer and co-organiser of The Beehive Folk Club, St Albans 1979-85. Formed Uncle Bob's Blues Band in 1992 with a residency at The Rose & Crown - a scene which evolved into into the long-running Club Mélange which finished at Christmas 2005. Following an unfruitful spell with the A5 Blues Band, went back to playing solo and reviving my old acoustic repertoire. Currently out of action due to a painful ulcer I've now got on my foot which is taking forever to heal, I'm waiting for a knee by-pass op scheduled for the end of September. I'm resenting every day I can't get out to the music scene. Normal life will be resumed as soon as possible.
