The essentials
The records
Folk Legends merges the deep regional roots of Billy Mitchell and the seasoned stage presence of Bob Fox. Mitchell’s background with Lindisfarne and The Lindisfarne Story brings a melodious, storytelling-driven approach to traditional material, while Fox’s long career in the North East folk circuit — including his role as Songman in the acclaimed production War Horse and his work with The Pitmen Poets — adds a compelling blend of narrative voice and social history to the duo.
The 2025 tour spans October–November across the UK, with appearances in Blyth, Hexham, Bishop Auckland, Beverley, Gateshead, Lichfield, Grindleton, Forest Hall, Saltburn, Otley, Cullercoats, Gartmore, and more. Each show offers a standalone evening of traditional and contemporary folk, rooted in the performers’ shared heritage.
