Bob Lewis

Bob 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 1960s that he started to think of the songs he knew as folk songs. He then found that his mother knew a lot of old folk songs and, hisappetite whetted, he began to gather songs wherever he travelled. Hiswork as an agricultural engineer took him to farm sales up and down the country and many an evening would end up with a few pints and a bit of a sing-song.
