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.
2008 marked the thirtieth anniversary of the release of Nowt So Good’ll Pass and to celebrate, Bob and Stu performed together again, touring selected folk venues and arts centres during October of that year finishing triumphantly at The Sage in Gateshead!
Bob and Stu hadn’t performed together since then until they were asked to do a couple of songs at The Davylamp Folk Club 50th Anniversary concert in July 2024 and having enjoyed the re-connection they agreed to do a special re-union concert at the annual Morpeth Gathering in 2025.
Bob and Stu will play a range of instruments featured in their original live set including guitars, acoustic bass, dulcimer, and bouzouki and the reunion concert will be made up of a selection of songs from Nowt So Good’ll Pass and their second album Wish We Never Had Parted!
Come and see what all the fuss was about!!
