He uses them (along with his trusty Takamine acoustic guitar) to write beautiful, intriguing contemporary folk music, influenced by the likes of Mumford and Sons, Johnny Flynn, Laura Marling and Damien Rice. His music often tells stories, and paints vivid pictures of scenes and events from history and literature, made all the more pleasing by lyrics which could easily be read alone as poetry. Philosopher Blues, for example, is imaginative, thoughtful and reflective, while Oh Empire! is nostalgic and stirring. What sets Rob apart from the swathes of folkish singer-songwriter types is his conviction and passion, as well as his pleasant baritone. Joined on record by fellow folk heroes Hollie Rogers and Rowan Fisk, Rob is set to release his debut EP in the near future, and it promises to be one of the most exciting folk records of the year. He’s also written, produced and directed a play called “The God In The Well” that’s being staged in Exeter this weekend, if you happen to live in that neck of the woods.
