Dear Paul, gone too soon, such a sad loss to music, a real gifted individual xxx

Along with Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span, The Albion Band, Seth Lakeman and the rest, Bellowhead carried the flag for English Folk. Excellent guys, please reform.

How often is it that you see music played with such joy, Bellowhead are just irresistible.

Any band who Morris dances as part of their show is SOOO COOL! Hilarious! Saw them at the Winnipeg Folk fest and they ROCKED! Rules are usually to stay seated during shows because of sightlines however EVERYONE was up on their feet. I can't wait to see them live again.

Oh look how much fun they're having. This is just adorable.

i thought my music tastebuds had dried-up after years of living in a audio-wasteland...then these guys came-along...love it !!!!!

National Treasures in troubled times - come back please ! even for a few weeks a year?

Perfection , please come back guys.

You tube videos dont do bellowhead any justice. Go see them live, they blew me away, so much energy, and a couple pints of scrumpy dont go amiss either !!

Three words: Feel...good...music! Pure brilliance!!!

So much talent on one stage.

Same here...they're the best of English trad folk updated for our time!

there arent many songs that get you tapping your feet or that make you want to get up and bimble around nodding and flailing.i love em

WOW! i saw them in torquay in November THE BEST BAND i have seen for years, so sad they are packing up.

Bellowhead is not just a band. They're true artists! Watching John and the rest fiddle is beyond amazing! Neil Gow would love him! ¬ Janet Thompson Deaver

They played this at the Bristol Old Vic and yelled 'ARSE!' half way through , absoleutly amazing, better than 'hoi!' any day :)

When I listen to them I feel content with life :D

They're going to be sadly missed :(

Had these guys stay in the hotel I work at last night.. never heard of them before I asked, so I thought I'd come check them out. Very nice people :)

Brilliant, Amazing. Such talented guys.. Jon Boden is a Star!!!

Bugger! They are bloody brilliant!!!

Just seen these guys live at Fairport's Cropredy festival. They are simply AMAZING!. Do yourself a favour and go see them at a live concert. You won't regret it.

SO. MUCH. FUN.

Wow. You don't see the helicon used much these days...Really cool.

they are truly amazing live!

Amazing!

Pure joy.

Amazing Band. I've only seen them once at Wychwood festival and was blown away. Definately off to see them again at some point.

going to see beelowhhead at a standing concert so can jump up and down!

We were all young once, and I too played the Trombone, but not yer actual folk music. Had a squeeze box too, but it was so old it fell to bits so I learned to play the tin whistle and the flute, and never looked back.

Englands finest. Guys please reform .

well, i've loved them since i first heard them a few years ago.. and i'm 18 ;)

This is just super. :)

Superb stuff... Folk meets punk meets reality. xxx

@blondieB90: the drummer is called Pete Flood.

Just saw them live at the cambridge folk festival, they were absolutely amazing! Go see them live!

What an arrangement... what a performance!!! When are they going to reform?

Makes you proud to be English.

For me, pretty close to perfection.

The Beeb so need to get these guys on again ! :D xxxx

Amazing band. Looking forward to seeing them at wychwood in a few weeks.

how is that possible? they've only been round since 2004.... toe tappingly good!!! :D

watched them on jools holland last night brilliant

Brilliant - just brilliant.

I'm going to see them live on Friday -- can't wait!

Good on the BBC for promoting them.

want to see these live so badly!! the cutlery pot on the drumkit is amazing :)

If you want a definition of what 'tight' means, when referred to a group of musicians that are clearly in sync, then look no further than this.

Amazing band , amazing music.

Never saw 'em. Planned to, and then they were gone ... All that's left is these YT vids. Oh well, carpe diem.

about once a year a lookup something like 'pete flood percussion solo' THERE IS NOTHING!!!!!!! PLEASE, PLEASE if someone who knows pete sees this will they make him put up a really impressive drum solo. it's a disgrace that all these over the internet people have put up percussion solo videos, when one of the best has nothing!!!!!! please thumbs up this if you have never heard how good he is, or even if you do know! thanks

We will never see their like again.

Would someone please show Simon Cowell this, please? Then he might have some idea what REAL talent looks like!

What a great band and what a fantastic word "Bimble" is. That's a Stephen Fry word I'm going to use it at work on Monday

God I need to learn to play the middle tune on violin :)

@bobbylizziebeebop What are the differences between the two? I've never see or even heard of the dance you are talking about. My dad did Morris dancing so that's all I've ever seen. Do they both wear bells and the sort but just different steps?

Great fun are Bellow Head!

you have the best username ever. How I wish I had chosen it!

Such a shame they decided to quit. X

yes! greenman festival here i come :)

Good eh? I saw them the night before in BRAMPTON! Which is at the OTHER end of the country!! Where do they get their energy from! ;-)

@logosthedestroyer are we talking arranged as in the order of the tunes and how the three are put together? if so, yes i agree they are jsut placed next to each other though. i meant the way the parts of the band play into each other mainly. the way the instruments come in at the start in particular is amazing

@RonnieRodentMusic ah ok my mistake its good though sort of stuff thats played at the cropredy festival

@logosthedestroyer Please by all means show me a school orchestra capable of writing an arrangement of three folk tunes like this.

I might just go and see them at v festival

Cant do more then like. Shalom

Sounds like a folk band being thrown down a long flight of stairs. Spiers and Boden; oh how I wish you'd stick to just the two of you. Now that is amazing.

what kind of accordion/melodeon do they use in this song? i think it sounds lovely :)

eeeeeeee!!! most favourite video ever! and while for a long while I was a jon boden woman through and through, I have just noticed that the drummer is also a bit of a fitty! does anyone know his name?

Keith Dover brought me here ;)

is it me am i getting old ?but i cant hear sloe gin by joe bonamassa in this (listened 3 times to each now back to back)

@IshikStar YOU KNOW, MAYBE THEY SHOULD

where can I find the full performance fo download??

@PennyLane411 No that William moonflower III

Like if you you saw them at Towersey over the weekend.

Rachel is gorgeous !

@blondieB90 william moonflower III

Pete Flood. You're welcome.

Frozen Gin/Vinegar Reel/The Sloe (I think).

@blondieB90 Pete Flood

@lewis121234 I think you mean British....

Come on Jon gets get the music back on the road, you as Solo or back to you and Squires You are too good a musician to give up

a little

lol at this band

Sorry Spiers

no, thou arest good. at everythin. you good. what my generation says lol

It's even worse when you're standing and there's some old git rooted to the spot, refusing to move, clap or make any demonstration that he's enjoying the music.

you gonna google him ? thats what my mates do :P they are awesome, are they not?

nice joe bonamassa cover no im joking

Why are you competing about who liked them first, and showing off like 'I'm 16 and I love this band'? There are 6 billion people in the world, chances are there's another 16 year old who likes them too y'know! You're REALLY showing your age :)

@boosh1988 I know my old school band could have done a better job. Really though it's not so much 'arranged' as 'slapped together like a roadside BLT sandwich'
