Bob FraserBob Fraser has a background in the predominantly male environment of professional building design, construction and project management. Bob also trained as a teacher. He is perhaps better known as a prolific singer songwriter, performing and leading usic teams and bands in prisons, schools, colleges, universities, folk clubs, pubs and churches. He was one of the early pioneers of contemporary Christian music in the UK, recording two vinyl albums as front man with the popular 70s country rock band Canaan, and playing with them at prestigious venues including The Royal Albert Hall in London and the Usher Hall in Edinburgh. Bob has twelve solo albums and a further ten include his songs and vocals. His most recent album includes songs which were commissioned to mark the centenary of the Great War. For three years Bob has been running a group for men of faith which has grown to capacity. The group provides a safe place to belong, express views about life and faith and build friendship. Bob currently works in Restorative Justice with male offenders in prison. He is also area coordinator for Christian Vision for Men. In 2006 Bob began to work through some thinking about masculinity and faith in God. With too many thoughts to squeeze into a song he turned his hand to writing longer articles and blogs. These pieces eventually grew and developed into a full blown manuscript and his first book, Beyond the Banter, was published. Read More Read Less
