Event information

Founders of Bellowhead…. Described by The Guardian as “the finest instrumental duo on the traditional scene” twice winners of the BBC Radio 2 Folk Award for Best Duo, Spiers and Boden have, in the last ten years, made the genre of spontaneous, punky English folk very much their own stomping ground.

“Technically they stand head to head with the best of their generation...Jon Boden plays fiddle with an earthy vigour that's utterly compelling and sings in a frantic breathless manner as if the hounds of hell are taking lumps out of his backside, while John Spiers harmonises and plays urgent driving melodeon to a very high standard indeed...halfway to reinventing the style without even realising it…" fRoots Magazine

Jon Boden was named Folk Singer of the Year at 2010 BBC Folk Awards.
