Other recording ventures are "Box of Gold" with Stu Luckley; "Dark to the Sky" with The Hush, Benny Graham "How Are You Off For Coals?", and "5 Star B&B" with Billy Mitchell. Bob Fox is an exceptionally talented artist –memorable on CD, ebullient in live performance. Dates for Bob's Australian/New Zealand tour at his web site.
