 Video: Official video of Alabama by Bellowhead.Bellowhead are an English contemporary folk band formed in 2004. The eleven-piece band plays traditional dance tunes, folk songs and shanties, with arrangements drawing inspiration from a wide diversity of musical styles and influences. Albums: Revival, Broadside, Hedonism Live, Hedonism, Umbrellowhead, Matachin, Burlesque The lead singer is Jon Boden and John Spiers is the Concertina and Melodeon player. Some excerpts from the Bellowhead Newsletter: "After 11 amazing years we've decided to call it a day. It's been an incredible journey for us all and we've loved every minute of being Bellowhead but Jon has decided the time has come for him to stand down as lead singer and the rest of us don’t feel that we wish to continue without him. We have therefore decided that we should give Bellowhead the send off it deserves and go out with a bang. So we will be performing a two-part farewell tour (in November 2015 and April 2016) finishing as we started all those years back, with an intimate gig at Oxford Town Hall (on May Day 2016) - the very first venue we ever played as a band. We are all looking forward to the remaining gigs and intend to make them our best shows yet so we hope you can come along for the party. Of course Bellowhead would have been nothing without the support of our amazing fans over the last decade. We are all incredibly grateful to you for coming with us on this journey and want to thank you all for being part of the Bellowhead story." |
