BROADSIDE | 2012

Broadside is a positive spectacular, taking some of the wildest, most joyous and iconic songs in the richly colourful canon of the folk song tradition… and turning them upside down and inside out with the unique sense of drama and theatre, instrumental virtuosity, verve, humour and blind cheek that has seen them spearhead the new folk boom.

MOJO "A thrilling frenzy” 5*****

fRoots - Astonishing. I mean, I've had a drink, but this sounds to me like a landmark... Bellowhead are taking the music forward with a flair and urgency rarely heard in these parts and I, for one, can't wait for them to make a proper album.
