Bob Dougherty - Guitar / Mandola / Cittern / Vocals
Coming of age during the late sixties folk music revival in Britian and America, Bob, was nurtured on the music of Steeleye Span, Nic Jones, Sandy Denny, Martin Carthy, and Fairport Convention. Digging back to the origins of this music he discoverd their roots in the English and Irish folk music tradition. Bob switched from being just a listener to a player of tunes and a singer of song about fourteen years ago and truly loves sharing this wealth of tradition with anyone that will sit and listen. |
