Bellowhead lead singer and recipient of more awards than you can shake a fiddle bow at in a rare solo performance.
The man behind Bellowhead , Spiers & Boden & The Remnant Kings plays a rare solo performance for you here at Old Bakery Studios on Saturday May 25th.
Jon Boden has become the ‘stand out performer of his generation’ (The Guardian) of traditional English folk artists, but one whose repertoire extends far beyond the boundaries of the genre.
Jon Boden is best known for his performance in the Hollywood movie About Time – his Youtube audio of the track has over 9m views and over 22m plays on Spotify – and as the lead singer and main arranger of the progressive folk juggernaut Bellowhead who have sold over a quarter of a million album, had seven singles on the Radio 2 playlist and have sold out hundreds of venues throughout the land and beyond, including notably the Royal Albert Hall.
Widely respected as an interpreter of traditional song, Jon's solo shows showcase his instrumental talents on fiddle, guitar and concertina, as well as his trademark ‘stomp box’ which he and John Spiers introduced into to the world of traditional music in 2001. Through his solo work and his work with Bellowhead and Spiers & Boden Jon has won a total of eleven BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards – more than any other artist.
This will be something very special!
