Wow! I like them. I wonder what they put on their cornflakes?

I saw that too, I'm going to have to get myself to see them soon.

Sorry ... I hate Bellowhead (and their ilk) with a passion. Their music is certainly competently performed, but - like a lot of modern "folk" artists - all it does is show how well they can operate their instruments. It's about as emotionally involving as watching someone use an electric sander.

I really enjoy Bellowhead. Their gigs are more of an event or a production rather than a gig - very theatrical. I should have been at one of their gigs last night but was double booked and went to the alternative event - a twelve pint three pie pI55 up at the Station Inn at Ribblehead followed by further drinking pies and nibble in the adjacent bunk barn.

Nice, MrP, thanks for posting that.

I found this CD in a chariddy shop for £1.99 on the weekend so I bought it on the strength of this thread, barring RT's hatred of them. It's quite fun, not sure if it's a stayer or a 'bayer yet though.

Find the name a bit off-putting; I don't want to listen to someone bellowing at me.

Just so's no one thinks I'm too narrow minded, I like my folky stuff to be more like this. Played well and it's got some balls.

Burlesque, Matachin and Hedonism turned up at home earlier today. Ripping will commence shortly.

I like 'Prickle Eye Bush' and 'Rochdale Coconut Dance' from the Onymous EP

Decisions decisions.

I'm surprised that Norm didn't have it on his list.
