Our biggest thanks, again, to @bellowhead.bsky.social for bringing us along as support for their 20th anniversary! We had a wonderful time, and hope you all did too!
Look for us next in the new year!

A black and white photo of Andy, Robbie, and JD all in a fairly nonchalant style, looking at the camera. Andy has a banjo slung around his neck, Robbie with a big grin on his face, and JD pulling an "ooh sir" expression whilst leaning on a chair. Behind them is the Dome in Brighton, waiting to be filled later with an audience.

A group photo of both Bellowhead, The Longest Johns, and their various tech crews arranged in three tiers across the stage.

A shot from the rear side of the stage, facing out to the empty Brighton Dome, presumably not long before doors opened and the many awaiting seats were filled with audience.

An action shot of Bellowhead live on stage, in the middle of a song, with the audience in the foreground, cast in yellow light, along with more yellow spotlights along the background, in contrast to the blue fabric draped across the back. Of note is John Boden in semi-silhouette who is stood on a platform at the front of the stage, mic to his mouth in song, and left hand raised pointing skyward.

Bellowhead is the most magical thing. It’s always like returning home 🥲 it’s playing the music I adore with my second family. Thank you Bellowhead. You’re all stunning and I love you.

Now to wash my rank smelly clothes, rest my achey legs and sleep for a few weeks.

See you all soon 😘

That’s the Bellowhead tour finished. Hard to sum it up but firstly THANK YOU if you came along to party with us. It was the happiest tour I can remember doing.

The audiences (32,000+ of you) were so great and our crew were beyond brilliant. They work unbelievably hard to make the show what it is.

Any chance of sharing the below post please? @jamesfagan.bsky.social @emilykerr36.bsky.social @pdcawley.bsky.social @morrisfolkchoir.bsky.social @folklondon.co.uk @scotssong.bsky.social @bellowhead.bsky.social @thelongestjohns.bsky.social @lisaknappmusic.bsky.social @lunatraktors.bsky.social

As a result of the Bodleian Folk archives being no longer available from today, I'd like to try to get an idea of how many of us use it, how, and how often. It's such a vital resource for so many of us. I've set up an email at [email protected] for this so please do feed back

Image shows a page where the Bodleian Broadside Ballad archives used to be informing visitors that the online archive has been withdrawn.

I don't say very much on here, but I just have to say that the Bellowhead concert in Manchester tonight was outstanding!
