Remembering Bob Davenport | Letters

Jocelyn Rose and Siobhán Ní Chuanaigh on the folk musician who recorded a succession of celebrated albums

In the mid-1960s I went to Saturday classes at Hornsey School of Art that they ran for kids from neighbouring schools. One of the teachers was Bob Davenport (Obituary, 7 October), whom I recognised from his gigs at our local folk club. I took to singing loudly in the corridors, hoping he’d hear me and think: “Wow, that girl’s got a good voice – I must introduce her to my agent.” But he didn’t. Still, I remember Bob very fondly.
