A Life
In Music
One Very Recognisable Violin
Outside TMTCH, Bobby has enjoyed a long career as a violinist, singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist across folk, country, rock and pop.
He is particularly well known for the distinctive violin part on The Bluebells' Young at Heart, and his wider career has seen him perform and record with a remarkable range of artists.
That experience is part of what gives his playing with TMTCH such character. Bobby can move from soaring melody to raw fiddle energy without ever losing the song at the centre of it.
