Home Service arrives at St George’s with Bob Fox at the helm. Touring their new album, A Live Transmission, they blend tradition with pulsating folk rock and trenchant brass to create the unmistakable sound of Home Service.

Home Service is back on the road with Bob Fox at the helm.

Characterised by Graeme Taylor’s fiery lead guitar and a stirring brass section, the music of Home Service explores contemporary themes, often through historical settings, and crosses musical genres from folk and classical through to trenchant rock.

Bob Fox joined Home Service in 2023 after John Tams retired and made his debut with the band at Broadstairs Folk Festival in 2023. Long regarded as one of the great voices of British folk song, Bob took the role of ‘Songman’ in the National Theatre’s highly successful West End production of War Horse and has embraced a brand new role in Home Service.

Producing three albums in the mid-eighties, including the ground-breaking Alright Jack, Home Service headlined major festivals including Cambridge, Cropredy and Dranouter. They toured extensively, but found arguably their biggest audience when they provided music for Bill Bryden’s celebrated production of The Mysteries trilogy, which ran for many years at the National Theatre.

The band made a dramatic return to prominence in 2011 with the best-selling Live 86 album and a string of major festival appearances, following which they won Best Live Act at the 2012 Radio 2 Folk Awards.

Home Service

Home Service was formed from the creative nucleus of the Albion Band and received the Best Live Act Award at the BBC R2 Folk Awards in 2012.
