Bob’s chilled-out acoustic covers set includes numbers from Oasis, Bowie, Creedance Clearwater, Pulp, Beatles, Faces, Elton, Rod, ELO, Paul Simon, Stones, Tom Petty and many more (see a song selection below)… Basically old-school rock/pop with a particular appeal for those with a tinge of grey in their hair – Bob’s hair only has a tinge of its original colour...
