Voted Best Live Act at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards an unparalleled four times, Bellowhead come to Port Eliot fresh from recording their acclaimed third album, Hedonism, at the legendary Abbey Road studios. The 11-piece group is also Band in Residence at London’s Southbank Centre, and offer a unique take on the traditional music that influences them.

“They take outrageous but enthralling liberties with some of folk’s hardy veterans…they sweep it all before them into a heady mix of great tunes, innovative arrangements, rampant imagination and brazen front…Extraordinary.”
