Morning everyone! My tour with Spiers & Boden starts today … what could be a better way to begin to blow away the February blues than an evening of high-energy folk? Ticket links from spiersandboden.com/live-dates - check to see if there are tickets left for your local show.

Working with Ed has always been an immense source of joy for us all and we are devastated by his loss. Bellowhead x

Tragically in October this year he discovered that the cancer had come back. We are unbelievably sad to have to tell you all that Ed passed away on Christmas Eve surrounded by his family. All our love goes out to his wife Cathryn and his two wonderful children James and Beth.

Thankfully his chemo went very well, and with characteristic strength and determination he went ahead with the Bellowhead tour. As far as anyone knew, he was fully recovered.

Those of you who came along to the 2024 Bellowhead tour will remember our wonderful helicon player and dear friend Ed Neuhauser taking centre stage for the introduction to Fire Marengo. What you wouldn't have realised is that Ed had been diagnosed with a brain tumour twelve months previously.

The Longest Johns - NEW TOUR 2026 @thelongestjohns.bsky.social · 03/12/2024
Our biggest thanks, again, to @bellowhead.bsky.social for bringing us along as support for their 20th anniversary! We had a wonderful time, and hope you all did too! Look for us next in the new year! www.thelongestjohns.com/live #TheLongestJohns #LiveMusic #FolkMusic #SeaShanty
A black and white photo of Andy, Robbie, and JD all in a fairly nonchalant style, looking at the camera. Andy has a banjo slung around his neck, Robbie with a big grin on his face, and JD pulling an "ooh sir" expression whilst leaning on a chair. Behind them is the Dome in Brighton, waiting to be filled later with an audience.A group photo of both Bellowhead, The Longest Johns, and their various tech crews arranged in three tiers across the stage.A shot from the rear side of the stage, facing out to the empty Brighton Dome, presumably not long before doors opened and the many awaiting seats were filled with audience.An action shot of Bellowhead live on stage, in the middle of a song, with the audience in the foreground, cast in yellow light, along with more yellow spotlights along the background, in contrast to the blue fabric draped across the back. Of note is John Boden in semi-silhouette who is stood on a platform at the front of the stage, mic to his mouth in song, and left hand raised pointing skyward.

Bellowhead is the most magical thing. It’s always like returning home 🥲 it’s playing the music I adore with my second family. Thank you Bellowhead. You’re all stunning and I love you. Now to wash my rank smelly clothes, rest my achey legs and sleep for a few weeks. See you all soon 😘

That’s the Bellowhead tour finished. Hard to sum it up but firstly THANK YOU if you came along to party with us. It was the happiest tour I can remember doing. The audiences (32,000+ of you) were so great and our crew were beyond brilliant. They work unbelievably hard to make the show what it is.

Brilliant @bellowhead.bsky.social gig last night, with a fantastic Sheffield audience singing and dancing. Was great to see Will Sartin on stage. You can see Will and Joe Sartin (Patakas) at café 9, Thurs 12th Dec- book early, it'll sell out.

Absolutely amazing show from @bellowhead.bsky.social last night in Sheffield! The woodpile was well and truly rolled down. Beautiful cameo from Will Sartin as Medallion Man - Paul would approve, methinks.

If you’ve ever wondered what sort of aerial gets used to receive wireless signals from instruments … this is what we have on side of stage. Looks like something from Doctor Who!

The traditional song is a halyard shanty and as such doesn’t really have a time signature as the call is sung by the shantyman quickly and then the response is sung slower by the sailors. Our version is in 4/4 with some bars of 3 and 2. More info at mainlynorfolk.info/peter.bellam...
