All the stuff I've read about Bellamy has said he was a Norfolk farm foreman's son. However, even if his dad was Moseley's deputy, it wouldn't necessarily follow that Bellamy shared his views. I certainly don't share my father's political views.

From Karl Dallas' obituary of Peter Bellamy: 'He felt remote from the left-wing concerns of many folk audiences, and his remarkable settings of the Barrackroom Ballads and other lyrics by Rudyard Kipling did nothing to dispel the widely held (and erroneous) view that he was an unreconstructed right-winger. In fact, he was rather apolitical, but his individualism would not permit him to kow-tow to any orthodoxy, of whatever political complexion.'
