Whiskey is the Life of Man - Bellowhead

[thefrisquette]

Very good band and very good song:"WhiskEy is the life of man......"

[ElParkourPistols]

FlavouredTurnip's comment for 10 months stays most thumbs up WTF?

[MrMichaelbrownlee]

I really miss Bellowhead. They're fucking great.

[msconnie1997]

They played at womad this year, the best band there!

[imrlyboredful]

@EyeballX1 I saw them too ;) they were awesome

[Kikodanian]

@imrlyboredful I saw them three. They sound amazing live! We were all dancing!

[EyeballX1]

Seeing them at the Cambridge Folk Festival today. :)

[reboo12]

I love this song if theirs!!! Saw them perform it at Chagstock on sunday, was the best :D we all stood dancing like mad as well, singing along. Not a bad song to be dancing to next to a good looking guy. Plus when your near the front. The heat and the noise gets to you and you lose all care and just dance! XD

[axiomatic272]

Great song, great performance. I've seen them twice, at the The Brook, Southampoton and at Cropredy 2010. They are at the Wickham festival next weekend, do see them if you can.

glad to see a mention in the song of the down side of whisky. I've seen men drink themselves to death, including my uncle.

[720pblog]

This is real music.

[rubberduck1810]

I'm Morris Dancing right now. Just sayin.

[foreverspring]

Just discovered this group and I think they are awesome; love their energy and sense of fun, the music and song. Hey, what's not to love? I am bewildered, though. The singer doesn't look much like Jon. Is it someone else?

[diverdraeger]

@foreverspring no thats jon, hes just hidden half his face with the glasses and hat.

[thelolcamel]

this is my new favorite song!

[BritishAlienCompany]

For 3 people, Whiskey is sadly the death of man x

[MsFrenchfry101]

Going to see these later this year at Green Man Festival :)

can't wait !!

[tolstoythegreat]

My name's Jonny and I like whiskey.

[tommat0]

going to see them in buxton later this month, looking forwards to it.

[ciaracustard]

Wow, love how many tophats there are in that room.

[tommat00]

@ciaracustard I went to watch them in Buxton in February and I was the only person wearing a tophat. Felt like a coloured person in a gentlemans club in the 1920's. Seriously the amount of dirty looks I got... but it was worth it, I had a good conersation with most of the band when I realised they were staying in the same hotel as me. They were playing jenga with giant blocks in the lobby. :)

[roccorocc]

Those seats must have been comfortable or expensive - how come nobody is on their feet??

[Joshua1000com]

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW

[TheRealGaffer]

[wickedy081]

[PoitinCZ]

A very fine song about the water of life.

[finkployd4658]

[fozziebear26]

[TheMysteriousOswald]

@fozziebear26 Lol, same man. Its crazy unique, but brilliant. Thats Jools Holland for you. Puts people you may never have heard of on his show, and there brilliant. :)

[irishtwilightfan81]

love love love this song i saw it on jools holland hootananny last night the 2 people who do not like this song must not like whiskey at all.

[bobfari]

Is this Traditional English folk music?

[pea6]

@bobfari of a certain type yes.

[TheLargeJesus]

@bobfari I'd say it's more Polka/Irish trad. than English to be honest, English folk is a bit dreary, and this certainly isn't dreary. It carries a lot of Irish airs and graces, and if you've ever heard Irish Polka pieces you'd agree, plus he's singing about being a piss head, which of course is a very Irish thing to sing about.

[bobfari]

@TheLargeJesus Ever heard Irish polka?.... I AM IRISH!!! yeah i kind of agree with you it does sound Irish.

[TheLargeJesus]

@bobfari Keep er lit Bob, ya big raggamuffin.

[LiamS92]

He reminds me of the mad hatter in the new alice in wonderland film

[jasbk]

best song ever!!!! Whiskey-o Johnny-o!

[FlavouredTurnip]

I heard this on New Years eve 2010! Another year I hope it's a good one!

[xCyanidePrincessx]

[nintendoisthebestest]
