Bellowhead air new single, Roll Alabama, on tour

Folk stars Bellowhead are heading out on tour next month.

The group has recently been nominated for a third time for Best Group at the BBC Radio 2 Folk awards.

Their tour - which includes a date at Nottingham’s Royal Concert Hall on April 23 - coincides with the launch of third single, Roll Alabama, from their upcoming new album. This traditional shanty is inspired by the true story of the sinking of a sloop-of war.

Kings of the South Seas have been named as the support act for Bellowhead’s tour.

Tickets for the tour are on sale now at http://gigst.rs/Blwhd
