Does anyone know what has happened to Bob Davenport? I have some of his old vinyl records - "Down the Long Road", "Postcards Home" and "1977" - mostly recorded with a band called The Rakes. He sang unaccompanied, with The Rakes doing the occasional instrumental, and is one of the best folk singers that England ever produced. All the albums mentioned are absolutely wonderful and it is such a shame that they have not been released on CD. A few of the tracks on The Iron Muse are by him, but that is all that is available. He was a much better singer than McCall or A.L.Lloyd but he seems to have become neglected.
