About Home Service
Home Service arrives at the Roses Theatre with new lead vocalist Bob Fox at the helm. Touring their 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. Their unique sound has captivated fans for decades, from their ground breaking 1980s work, like Alright Jack, to major festival stages at Cambridge, Cropredy, and Dranouter, and the celebrated The Mysteries trilogy at the National Theatre.
The band made a dramatic return to prominence in 2011 with the best-selling Live 86 album and a string of major festival appearances, following which they won Best Live Act at the 2012 Radio 2 Folk Awards.
Home Service has returned to touring a new live album, A Live Transmission, has recently been released – the first Home Service recording to feature Bob Fox.
