When you say the Rochdale Co count dance what is this? Locally we have the Brittania Coconutters which is Bacup (a little town north of Rochdale). Just asking mind you and love Bellowhead.

Does anybody also know who the saxophone player is? Doesn't look like Brendan. He plays some interesting solos starting at 2:34 :)

Jonathan Doran

Does anyone know who the guy playing mandolin is?

Hello Bellowhead from Rochdale!

Ed Gittins

Why all the elitism? Bellowhead are great, I then listened to Balshazar's Feast and wasn't a fan at all. Basically, just calm your tits and enjoy the music.

I'm sure I sat behind the fiddle player dressed in silver grey at Shrewsbury fest this year at one of the concerts.

This is how music should be - played with utter joy

I love Bellowhead. One of my favourite things about them (there are many) is that by the last chorus they're all really enjoying it!

Maybe, though the lead singer is one of the things I find (very) off-putting about Bellowhead (I have 2 of their albums) - and if he sings in the same style in their duo, I doubt I'll like it even if I like the arrangements. Haven't actually heard them as a duo that I know of. (I don't much get to go to festivals/gigs, unfortunately, and prefer going out to play in sessions to going to "folk clubs".)

Holly Shite....where have you been all my life? i just discovered you guys today!!! for Christ sake come to the States, we're not all dicks!! Great stuff!

Jon Speirs is playing his Streb, that melodeon sound is all fake (i.e. computer generated via MIDI) I love them :D

No sir, I don't have much time for the folk club scene, I'm not bearded, I don't wear cable-knit and I'm a Pastis drinker (preferably with water and ice cubes.) You don't happen to know of any good sessions, preferably somewhere other than England? With lots of food and proper people would be good. If it ain't Bacchic and convivial I'm not interested. You can come along too as long as you behave yourself.

Oh, put your fishing jumper on, sup your pale air and sit in the corner man. Enough.

Jemtheflute

The box player is great in this - I'd love to be able to hear him properly! The rest is just an aural mess to me; oh, a clever mess by talented players with imagination, sure, but still a mess.

irateofwatford

Would you embolden, please? I can't hear a word you are writing!

There's nothing worse than a musical elitist, esp a folk elitist. This band are AMAZING. If you don't get it, then you are deaf.

I'm not sure why you belittle them so much. I love listening to lots of different people's takes on folk songs because each person brings their own flair to it. Bellowhead is no exception, and to say that they're 'just the new kids on the block' is to ignore the creativity they bring to these tracks. Also, re your other comments, Bellowhead got me into Spiers and Boden and that got me into traditional folk music, so I can't believe they do anything other than good for the genre.
