New Bellowhead album -
what do people think?

I love it but that was really to be expected....
I think it sounds just like them. That may seem obvious but it can be so disappointing when you get the CD of a band and it sounds completely different...
I've got Bellowhead... in a box! And couldn't be happier....

OOOOH Bellowhead in a box, I'll just dream about that for a bit!

Personally I really enjoy their music, but have been known to get cross about the crimes they have comitted against some of my favourite songs!

But on the other hand Bellowhead in a box......

My only question is why the're still re-treading a fair bit of the Spiers and Boden back catalogue. Surely the boys know a few more songs...?

A big hats off to Mr Mandleson - the production is superb. They were lucky to get a producer with such an eclectic yet solid musical pedegree, who clearly understands so well what they do.

Nice to see Rigs of the Time in there. Loving Peter Bellamy at the moment and learning that song at the moment, as it 'appens...

My answer was going to be entirely serious and music related, but reading about Bellowhead-in-a-box has thrown my train of thought completely. There's definitely a gap in the market there...

I like Burlesque, but haven't quite got into yet, whereas I got into the EP immediately. It's nice to have some of the songs that we've seen them playing this summer and I love the sloe gin/vinegar set of tunes.

Now, back to Bellowhead-in-a-box...

yes please...... ;-) haha.

I had a bit of a chance to get into it at Towersey cos I was working for Mrs Casey and we had a promo copy to play 'for advertising purposes'. It meant that I was absolutely deperate for my copy to arrive and it was then of course two weeks late!

I like Jordan and Across the line... and just... well - all of it really. But I was very glad to hear the stuff theyv'e been doing recently - and that it sounds just like them live!

Jordan, how appropriate, she's all plastic and front too.

But will they have a studio big enough to fit them all in?
The Burlesque launch is next Friday, 6 October at Bush Hall. Perhaps the BBC should consider an Outside Broadcast . . .

Giok - nothing you can say will even slightly dampen my spirits about finally having this long loooooooooong awaited CD
:-)
Any news on a tour yet?

I like Burlesque, took a bit of getting used to, but its pretty good really. The only thing I dont like are the fake morris bells on one track, I'm not keen on morris bells as it is! Bellowhead manage to mix folk tunes with show influences and add a bit of everything. they're good at what they do and I certainly wouldnt mind Bellowhead in a box for christmas :)

Well, I just ordered my copy from Amazon, so I will hope that it is as good as some have intimated!
When I ran the thread 'Best Festival Act' Bellowhead came back from quite a few folks, so I have felt obliged to eliminate my ignorance in this area, I hope it is an illuminating experience!

You can be a member on as many computers as you like - each one stores its own cookie. As long as there isn't a security risk (like someone else using your computer while you're not there and logging into MC as you), no problem.
