For 50+ years, Roy Bailey has been one of the UK Folk & Acoustic scene’s most loved and admired performers.
From his early days performing skiffle in student union bars, to his love of traditional songs and the stories they tell, onto developing a unique repertoire of songs of dissent and hope, he has performed on stages, TV and radio all over the world.
In 2000 he was awarded an MBE for Services to Folk Music – an Award he later returned in protest at the Government’s Foreign Policy.
In the 1970’s Roy joined forces with Tony Benn to present their show 'The Writing on the Wall' for which the duo won Best Live Act at BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards in 2003.
Now with more than 50 years as a performer, Roy is as compelling, entertaining, thought provoking and moving as ever before.
Colin Irwin writes of Roy’s new CD ‘Below the Radar’ as being “… so impeccable it must surely merit consideration as the best thing he’s ever done.” (fRoots June 2009)
