Bob Fox and Stu Luckley

Bob Fox and Stu Luckley took the folk world by storm when they began playing together in the late 1970s.

The duo's reputation was cemented in 1978 when they released Nowt So Good'll Pass, their debut album which won Melody Maker's 'Folk Album Of The Year' award.

The acclaim has stood the test of time: milestone folk albums are few and far between but Nowt So Good'll Pass remains up there with the very best and has proved enduringly popular.To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release of the iconic album Bob and Stu performed together again, touring selected folk venues and arts centres, before finishing triumphantly at The Sage in Gateshead.

A mere 16 years later they were asked to do a couple of songs at The Davy Lamp Folk Club's 50th Anniversary concert in 2024, and having enjoyed the re-connection they agreed to do a special reunion concert at the annual Morpeth Gathering in April 2025.

Tickets for the concert sold out so quickly that the duo decided to do a very short and selected series of reunion concerts in 2026.Bob and Stu will play a range of instruments featured in their original live set, including guitars, acoustic bass, dulcimer, and bouzouki and the concerts will be made up of a selection of songs from Nowt So Good'll Pass and their second album Wish We Never Had Parted as well as a few songs that never made it onto either.Come and see what all the fuss was about!
