Bellowhead

+ The Longest Johns

This event has passed

A band energetically performs on stage, with one musician jumping in the air as they play guitar.

In 2004, Bellowhead burst onto the British folk scene like nothing before or since. Famously conjured up by duo Spiers & Boden whilst sitting in a traffic jam, they roped in friends, and friends of friends until the big band was born.

In their early years Bellowhead played to hundreds of thousands of people at festivals and on tour and were regularly lauded as “one of the country’s greatest live outfits.” After a hiatus, the band reunited for a joyous sold-out tour in 2022 which reaffirmed their status as one of the biggest and most in demand UK folk acts.

2024 marks Bellowhead’s 20th Anniversary, it’s also 20 years since the release of their debut five track E.P.Onymous and 10 years since the release of their album Revival which featured favourites including Gosport Nancy and Roll Alabama.
