Bellowhead: "Prickle-Eye Bush"

[verityandstu]

Heard Spiers and Boden do this tune at a little village festival gig a few years ago, both in scruffy t-shirts like they hadst been a-pulled through an hedge backwardf. Blew the socks off every man woman and child in the room. I doff my cap to these fine fine people.

[Damoskinos]

A stupid question but is this the anything to do with Page & Plant "Hangman's Pole" track?

[ReedsReads]

John S's expression at 0:42 pretty much replicates mine every time the music kicks in!

@taintedguns99 it's not skanking it's called Morris dancing and is a traditional English dance. I can only hope that @AkScoochy was joking.

[TheEchoFire]

[suuus1995]

[AkScoochy]

So, Britain's found SKA? Great.

[MrDinosaurify]

@AkScoochy What?

[tommat00]

@MrDinosaurify SKA is a jamaican style of music, the predesessor of rocksteady and Reggae, AKScoochy doesnt know what hes talking off obviously : /

[MrDinosaurify]

@tommat00 That's exactly what I was thinking

[majorocarroll]

This tune obviously shares its folk roots with Zeppelins "Gallows Pole"..

[CecilyHeron]

@majorocarroll Yes it does, there are several versions of the song about, Lead Belly did a version called Gallis Pole I think.

[XxbritpupxX]

@CecilyHeron

Also Led Zeplin did a version called Gallows Pole, as well as Bob Dylan and many others. Fantastic song! x

[jasbk]

gthey need to come to Norwich!

[Mollydalmation46]

Absolutely fabulous. They exude such energy.

[Yehudittx]

When I first heard them I thought they grabbed the baton from Brass Monkey and ran with it. Now I learn that John Kirkpatrick's son is in the band. Ah.

[machuyoli]

is there anyone please explain to me that

why when the bell rings everyone smiles?

[tezthesecond]

@machuyoli it's just his good timing - watch his hand :)

[timzyz101]

I saw Bellowhead at Colchester Folk club they are amazing band.

[tarfun5959]
