A Garland for Joey; The War Horse Songbook
A Retelling by Bob Fox, Songman, and John Tams, Songmaker

This new album includes the complete War Horse Songbook and a postscript of new works ? companion pieces to the storytelling and the ever-resonating impact of The Great War.

Bob Fox?s intuitive and masterful re-telling of these songs, accompanied by his beautifully accomplished guitar settings, and additionally in the company of Carlton Main Frickley Colliery Band, form the heart of the album ? at its core a message of remembrance and above all peace.

A Garland for Joey is released on 11th November 2017 via Fledg?ling Records.
