Bob Ferguson Folk Singer

Bob performs happy and audience interactive songs while roaming around the audience, dressed in colourful tartans and layers of good fun and humour.

Bob will endeavour to perform songs that guarantee the audience can sing-a-along from the very start, or dance if they wish too. Bob's whole performance is happy, and fun with twists in the music and parodies sometimes of well known songs. From start to end the show is full of surprises. Audiences join in with ease when Bob performs. Bob can also perform background music for during meals or other occasions, and acoustically as a wandering minstrel.
