Bob Davenport has one of the most distinctive styles and one of the widest repertoires among singers on the folkclub scene. A favourite performer at festivals and a regular guest at folk clubs throughout Britain, he is a staunch supporter of traditional music.
This record examines hard times and war times through a powerful mix of song, music and speech.
Songs by Richard Thompson and Bob Marley are interwoven with traditional music, poetry and music hall songs.
Yes, Bob Marley is in the mix (Get Up/Stand Up)
Great music portraying the tough times in Britain during the 50's and 60's
