Davenport in Gateshead on 31 May 1932) is an English traditional folk singer who has been a leading and influential voice in the British folk revival since the early 1960s. In the 1970s he recorded two albums with The Rakes as Bob Davenport & The Rakes.

Davenport has lived in Camden, London, for most of his life. His quiet speaking voice belies his big-voiced singing style, which can be melodic or a cross between shouting and singing. His songs are often political - he is not a great fan of the ruling classes. He also sings a range of traditional songs, telling little stories in between, and he does hilarious monologues.

He has been performing in folk clubs for more than 40 years - in 1963 he apppeared alongside with Bob Dylan, Joan Baez & Tom Paxton at the Newport Jazz Festival.

He recorded two albums with The Rakes as Bob Davenport & The Rakes, and then played with the Flowers and Frolics, who for many years were the house band at the Islington Folk Club in its various venues around the borough.

In 1997, he returned with an unchanged line-up of The Rakes - Plunkett, Gross and Hall - to record the album The Red Haired Lad, produced by Mike Harding. In 2004, he released The Common Stone, an album dedicated to his father, and comprising mostly traditional folk songs recorded with musicians including Richard Thompson, Martin Carthy, the Watersons, and the band Chumbawamba. In 2010, he performed with Kathryn Tickell at a concert in Gateshead.
