A band with as many members as Bellowhead recording a CD at Abbey Road with veteran producer John Leckie
and "living in beautiful apartments in St John's Wood for two weeks and being able to walk to Studio 2" [Sam Sweeney]
won't have been as 'cheap as chips', and will have to be paid for in full somehow...

So can't really be surprised Bellowhead need to maintain as high a media profile as possible
to try push their products to a mass consumer market..

But that kind of commitment to success has got to involve unenviable levels of pressure and stress
that most folkies would most happily live and perform without..

Just seeing 2 girlfriends at the same time at opposite ends of the country when I was 22
caused outbreaks of eczema and panic attacks..

so be buggered if I could have coped with being hounded by ruthless record company executives & accountants....
