Peter Franklyn Bellamy (8 September 1944 – 24 September 1991) was an English folk singer. He was a founding member of The Young Tradition and also had a long solo career, recording numerous albums and touring folk clubs and concert halls. He is noted for his ballad-opera The Transports, and has been acknowledged as a major influence by performers of later generations including Damien Barber and Jon Boden. [Wikipedia]

Louis Killen collaborated with Bellamy on the album, Won’t You Go My Way? in 1971.

The website, Mainly Norfolk, has a comprehensive discography of Peter Bellamy’s work as a solo performer and as a member of other groups.

The Bournemouth Beat Boom website has a well-written article about Bellamy’s life and career.
