Frídl, Bob (proper name Josef Fridl, *13.11.1947 Prague)

guitar player, singer and songwriter. Influenced by artists like Russian Bulat Okudjava, Donovan and Dylan (inspiration for Fridl to change his name). Since 1968 occasional appearances at Brno Youth clubs,  first solo, shortly with M&T Elfteriadu. The most important chapter of his career was cooperation with J.Sochor Band (in fact, it was a parallel activity of the members of Progress Organization Band). After departure in 1978, he sang with several folk bands, went through several years of stagnation, then in the late 80's he moved to Greece. Later he moved back to Czech Republic; his attempt to come back was not much of a success.
