Bellowhead
+ support from Sam Carter
Bellowhead have taken the folk scene by storm over the last few years and now make their first appearance at SaltaireLive.
With eleven members at the last count, Bellowhead make a big sound and a big spectacle. To describe the music is not easy - the material is steeped in elements of the English folk song and dance traditions, but performed by a band which looks and feels very different to anything else from that tradition, past or present. The feel is intoxicating, exciting, sometimes slightly sinister and deeply funky....above all, this is a big band experience. Take a listen - www.myspace.com/thisisbellowhead
At the band's request, this will be a standing show. Although there will be a few unreserved seats in the balcony, available first come, first served, this show is for a standing audience and there is no guarantee of getting one of the balcony seats, so please be aware of this before booking.
