Bellowhead formed in 2004 – in their active years this dynamic, ground-breaking 11-piece played to thousands of people at festivals and on tour, recorded 5 studio albums (selling over a quarter of a million copies), were the proud recipients of 2 x silver discs, were play-listed at BBC Radio 2 and won a staggering 8 x BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. In addition, the band spent 8 years as Artists in Residence at London’s Southbank Centre where they hosted numerous shows and special events. They also performed sell-out shows at the Shepherds Bush Empire (on several occasions) and The Royal Albert Hall. On top of this they recorded theme tunes for The Archers and The Simpsons (at the request of the producers) and were one of the first bands to brew their own beer!
