Roy Bailey (folk Singer)




Colin Irwin from MOJO magazine said Roy represents "the very soul of folk's Working Class Ideals ... a triumphal Homage to the Grass Roots folk scene as a Radical alternative to the Mainstream music industry."

In the 2000 Honours List, Roy received the MBE for services to folk music.

In 2003 , Roy together with Tony Benn were awarded "Best Live Act" at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, for their hugely successful programme "Writing on the Wall." Tony Benn cites Roy as "the greatest socialist Folksinger of his generation."

He is an Emeritus Professor of Social Studies at Sheffield Hallam University .
