   About bellowhead

'The sound of 44 limbs in pursuit of countless more possibilities.'
The Times

The brand new album Matachin - out now!

Click the album cover below to order

Set to hit the shops on the 22nd September 2008, this is a magnificently murky and rum-sodden collection of 11 traditional and original songs from an 11 piece band who defy easy categorisation.

Not many bands would have the courage to embrace this staggering range of songs or manage them with such enthusiasm and skill. But be advised, 'Matachin' is not for the faint hearted. There are no whimsical maidens or gentle stories of love gone wrong. Instead you'll get dragged along on an exhilaring journey filled with cholera, whiskey, the high-seas and the Cold War.

Although they have only been in existence for a few years, Bellowhead have an ever increasing fan-base including high-profile fans who range from the West Coast's Red Hot Chili Peppers to the West Midlands' Frank Skinner.

Blending folk, rock, ska, jazz, soul and world music influences with dashes of English Music Hall and cabaret, between them, the 11 musicians play more than 20 instruments, six of them sing and their arrangements are already the stuff of legend.

'One of the most kick-ass live bands around...

Perfect night at Dartington - what a setting. I was lucky enough to hear you sound checking as I walked through the Quad and it sounded so lovely.
Where can I download the new compilation album - no luck on iTunes??
YOU JUST PUT A PERMANENT SMILE ON MY FACE!

I will be driving down to London, ON (from Ottawa) to catch your show on July 9th but have to boogie back as our band has a gig on Friday the 10th. Really looking forward to it and am making a highschool reunion out of it and bringing all my old buddies and buddettes to be introduced to the music of Bellowhead. Phil of "Celtic Sea"
