Bailey began his musical career in a skiffle band in 1958, and later joined folk 'supergroup' The Three City Four (as a replacement for Martin Carthy). His first solo album was released in 1971. In the 2000 Honours List, Bailey received the MBE for services to folk music. On the 23rd August 2006, he returned the MBE in protest at the UK government's foreign policy with regard to Lebanon and Palestine.
