Bellowhead - Rigs of the Times

[PuissantAlgernon]

Great song by a great band.

Is it just me or does Jools Holland have a really odd way of talking? The rhythm of his speech pattern just seems off somehow.

[Akco007]

This has a kinda disney song catchyness to it...

[wignog]

Nice to see things havnt changed much in todays world :P

[WintersweetPhoenix]

does anyone have this song without the annoying loud voice of jools holland?

everytime i listen to it on my playlist - his voice makes me jump.

[jamesmason01]

@WintersweetPhoenix It's the first track off Burlesque - just buy that. It's worth the money.

[eatingmoss]

@jamesmason01 I wholeheartedly agree. I can't decide my favorite album between Hedonism or Burlesque. Both are just so god damn amazing.

[corpsemunger]

seen them twice now - they are really really so good

[shadyfolkie]

I think I may be in love with the hat. Not to mention what is underneath the hat. It was awesome seeing these guys at Sidmouth!

[SummerHerald]

I've never heard that song sound so good. brilliant.

[irsdeb]

yes the best

[treedwarfgirl]

this is really good jujs tclicked on a llink from seth and now very glad i did :)

[diverdraeger]

i can imagine Boden playing Fagin sometimes!

[minichaz69]

Sound amazing!

[corpsemunger]

i saw them yesterday, they were so good!

really amazing live, they sound like they do on the studio versions, only better.

really good!

[KarlTaylor111]

OMG a I've never heard a honer pokerwork sound THAT good!!

[veganchimp]

john dry tuned the pokerwork and retuned it from G/D to Gmin/Dmin

[KarlTaylor111]

wow! thanks for the info - I do have a poker work but its on lease to me so I wont be able to do that :P

[iiiidirector]

my ears have never done that before!! Superb!

[Moir79]

This is the kind of band I have dreamed of being in, but I always end up in hopeless disasters. Dream on.....x

[adamg709]

You need to play with musicians who don't do drugs....seriously.

[CHARnSHANE]

i've seen them live twice now, got all their autographs

they are ultimate

best gigs ive ever been to :D x

[skillydan]

I saw these tonight, they were incredible... they clearly have a love for making music!

[oscarkev190]

this really was the best episode of later ever with rhcp and thom yorke and introducing bellowhead to me

[prince1of]

I WANT TO BE IN BELLOWHEAD!

[fonzleclay]

Would love to go and see them. I'm hoping to see Spiers and Boden in April.

[desktoppainting]

very interesting

[bally156]

playing wychwood festival 09

good live.......

[simonbath]

Baal brecht pastiche. university degrees ooze from these proud to be here trumpets. more white wine and voulevants at the bbc.

[xThreadyx]

superbly performed.

[touchcoma]

im to believe they good eh

[snailgiraffe]

Saw them live on Saturday night at Warwick Festival. Everyone including myself was dancing like crazy, impossible not to. Best live performance I have ever seen!

[burger137]

i went to see these guys at the proms in london

it blew my ass of

[sciencebabe]

I love traditional folk music and I love surprising new versions when the innovations are soulful. What these folks are doing is great - Can't stop smiling when I listen. I just found them on NPR so looked here and am happy to get to see them

[DorySploj]

i love this song it my fave!

[ihopeiexist]

he has an excellent voice, in my opinion.

oh yeah, and this is good stuff, too.

[TheFrayRocks267]

that was awesome. i watched this on tv twice and its even more astounding the third time

[sometimesoonfan]

nice

[LaTromboniste]

They are brilliant. Simply brilliant.

[rogthedodger]

Annoying, fiddly version - listen to Peter Bellamy, Sandy Denny or Shirley Collins' versions to hear the song done properly.

Nu folk - pah!

[SunnyCool]

quit complaining, compared to the shit that litters the airwaves today, I would listen to this all day...

[dhuinn]

Wouldn't you agree though that what we have in folk is a tradition OF innovation, and for something to live on it has to change and adapt? Surely it's better for the same songs to appeal to a new generation through an adaptation of style than to preserve them in their assumed original state and thus lose them altogether for fear of doing them 'wrong'?

[rogthedodger]

Nothing wrong with updating old songs, many new folk artists are reinterpreting old songs and bringing them to new audiences (Jim Moray for one) but there have to be some standards!

I'm not against innovation, just poor versions of good songs.

[motleypangolin]

i love Bellowhead..Jon's voice sounds like history singing back at you

[dadeadlock]

Is this music the oldskool ravers got down to.

[sweetx68]

LMFAO

[folkfox]

I saw these at Shrewsbury festival-best night of my life!

[johnnysaint]

Great band. Thanks for sharing.

[bugsduggan]

I love this version of a great English tune. Although I still like Stream of Sound's version better.

[nudeone34]

Bellowhead folk-ROCKS!! Andy i love you.

[benny111111]

[doug1the1thug]

[ihaveabigwilly0999]

[oOchymoOo]

I saw them at Brampton aswell. They were amazing were they not. Such a powerful live sound.

[ihaveabigwilly0999]

yeh so impacting! but the best thing about them is how well they connect with the audience. so many bands just play at you, but these guys made you feel involved. brilliance.

[rlburns666]
