The British music industry is mourning the loss of beloved entertainer Bob Buckle, who passed away last Tuesday at the age of 80. With a career spanning over 50 years, Buckle had a profound impact on the music scene and touched the lives of many people through his incredible talent and warm personality.
Remembering a Musical Legend
Born in Yorkshire, Buckle began his musical journey after qualifying as a watch and clock maker.

With thousands of appearances on radio and television and 23 recorded albums, Buckle’s influence in the music industry cannot be overstated.

Buckle’s love for folk music extended to his work with young children, as he made it a priority to bring the genre to schools across the country.
A Multi-Talented Musician
Not only was Buckle an accomplished musician, but he also owned and operated a 24-track recording studio. Through his studio, he produced albums for both himself and other artists while working with prominent media outlets such as the BBC and independent radio. Buckle’s dedication to his craft was evident in the meticulous research he conducted for his recordings, preserving traditional folk music and showcasing his passion for anti-war sentiments and songs about the local area.
A Lasting Legacy
Bob Buckle’s impact extended beyond his music. He was a devoted father to his daughters Clare and Jane and a loving husband to his wife, Moya. His family released a heartfelt statement expressing their heartbreak at his passing and gratitude for the outpouring of tributes and well-wishes they have received.
Farewell to a Folk Legend
The funeral service for Bob Buckle will be held on March 5 at Our Lady of Pity in Greasby. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations to the Age UK Bridge It campaign.
