Bellowhead head to Nottingham as they mark debut album anniversary
British folk phenomenon Bellowhead are celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album with a tour that’s coming to Nottingham,
In 2004, Bellowhead burst onto the British folk scene like nothing before or since.
Conjured up by duo John Spiers and Jon Boden while 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, receiving rave reviews.
Their first album, Burlesque, showcased their unique blend of traditional English folk music with a modern big-band sound, and was followed by another four studio albums.
Bellowhead won a remarkable eight BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards before calling it a day in 2016.
After a hiatus and prompted by a record-breaking online stream during the pandemic, the band reunited for a joyous sold-out tour in 2022 and repeated the success in 2024.
Both tours reaffirmed their status as one of the biggest and most in-demand UK folk acts.
The band play the Royal Concert Hall on November 20.
