Autumn Harvest AH09 details >
Bob Lewis, who was a guest at FifeSing2009, is from West Sussex - an area where traditional song and music still thrive as a living tradition. Bob’s interest in old songs started at local pub sing-songs and it was only when he came into contact with the folk clubs of the early 1960s that he started to think of the songs he knew as folk songs. He soon found his mother knew a lot of old songs and, his appetite whetted, he began to gather songs wherever he travelled. Here are twenty of his songs recorded live before an audience of singers at the Fife Traditional Singing Festival in May 2009.
