Bellowhead exploded onto the folk scene
two years ago with their debut performance at the Oxford Folk
Festival. The charismatic vocals of Jon Boden are backed by
folk instrumentation, a tight and gutsy brass section and
arrangements reminiscent of Music Hall and Tom Waits. During
their performance at Sidmouth Festival the audience managed
to break the dance floor - a fair reflection of the band's
attitude to folk music.
Featuring some of the most talented players
from the younger generation of the English traditional and
world music scenes, and spearheaded by the multi award winning
duo Spiers & Boden, bellowhead put English music firmly
on the world stage. They are nominated for both ‘best
group’ and ‘best live act’ at the Radio
2 Folk Awards in February where their performance opens the
ceremony.
A weekend or Saturday ticket for the
Oxford Folk Festival includes free admission to the bellowhead
concert. Visit www.oxfordfolkfestival.com for details.
