About / Biography

Bob Ferguson has performed for over 27 years at corporate events, festivals, theatres, folk clubs, and almost every type of venue possible. A lead vocalist with the highly successful Beggars Row band and Celtic Horizon band, Bob has also maintained his solo career.

Bob's concerts all have a fun happy theme to them aided by the fact he uses wireless packs for his voice and instruments. This enables Bob to wander around the stage and to come off the stage into the audience. At corporate events, Bob will often be booked as a wandering minstrel, with or without PA.

Bob sings, Scottish, Irish, and Celtic songs and his own songs too. If the event requires it, Bob can add songs from other genres into his sets such as country, the '60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and easy sing-a-along songs.

On his travels, Bob has performed around the UK, USA, Russia, Israel, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, and Belgium.

Over the years Bob's powerful voice has endeared him to many audiences and he has always been rebooked by every venue or agency he has performed for.

Bob is willing to travel worldwide and quotes for bookings are available free and without obligation.
