Bob and Stu took the folk world by storm when they began playing together in the late 1970s. The duo's reputation was cemented in 1978 with the release of the album. The acclaim has stood the test of time: milestone folk albums are few and far between but Nowt So Good'll Pass remains up there with the very best .

On the 2008 tour, Bob and Stu will play the range of instruments featured in their original live set – including guitars, acoustic bass, dulcimer, and bouzouki – and the reunion concerts will feature all the songs from Nowt So Good'll Pass as well as a wealth of other material from their days as a duo.

To see the duo in action, watch this video clip of a 1983 live performance. Bob and Stu are accompanied by Ray Laidlaw and Rod Clements in a show filmed by Tyne-Tees Television. It's slightly out of synch but the sound quality isn't bad for a YouTube clip.
