With a band the size of Bellowhead you can only expect some crazy ideas to emerge whilst touring together on a bus. So they have settled on video recording a song a day…not quite like Jon Boden’s Folk Song a Day…far from it, as you’ll see below! They are open to suggestions so you can tweet them any ideas / things you’d like them to attempt…within reason! Tweet’em ere!
Their latest efforts:
On The Bus!
Day One: Ipswich
Day Two: Brighton
Day Three: Bilston (with special appearance from John Leckie)
Most tickets for their tour are now sold out but some tickets remain for a few venues. Click here for details.
In other Bellowhead news, don’t miss out on their latest DVD Hedonism Live which is out on 28th November!
For those that missed it make sure you check the mix they did for Folk Radio UK:
