Home Service
The Half Moon, SW15 1EU , [Venue Details]Home Service returns to the Half Moon after an eight-year absence.
Now with Bob Fox at the helm and a new album, A Live Transmission, they blend tradition with pulsating folk rock and trenchant brass to create the unmistakable sound of Home Service.
Characterised by Graeme Taylor’s fiery lead guitar and a stirring brass section, the music of Home Service explores contemporary themes, often through historical settings, and crosses musical genres from folk and classical through to trenchant rock.
Bob Fox joined Home Service in 2023 after John Tams retired and made his debut with the band at Broadstairs Folk Festival in 2023. Long regarded as one of the great voices of British folk song, Bob took the role of ‘Songman’ in the National Theatre’s highly successful West End production of War Horse and has embraced a brand new role in Home Service.
Producing three albums in the mid-eighties, including the ground-breaking Alright Jack, Home Service headlined major festivals including Cambridge, Cropredy and Dranouter. They toured extensively, but found arguably their biggest audience when they provided music for Bill Bryden’s celebrated production of The Mysteries trilogy, which ran for many years at the National Theatre.
