This month sees Jon Boden heading out on a solo tour (dates below) on which he’ll be playing a mix of stuff from his solo albums / Bellowhead / afolksongaday.com. He won’t be completely alone, “Andy Bell will be in charge of sound and Emma Thompson will be working her lighting magic”; they both did the sound and light for The Transports so he’ll be in very good hands.
He also revealed that he’ll also be “dropping in a few sneak previews” of some of the songs from his new album “Afterglow” which will be coming out in the autumn.
Only recently he put together a series of videos on which he talks about the instruments he plays including the guitar, concertina and baritone guitar. Watch below (he’ll be uploading a few more over the next few days so check back here for more):
