Morning everyone! My tour with Spiers & Boden starts today … what could be a better way to begin to blow away the February blues than an evening of high-energy folk? Ticket links from spiersandboden.com/live-dates - check to see if there are tickets left for your local show.

Those of you who came along to the 2024 Bellowhead tour will remember our wonderful helicon player and dear friend Ed Neuhauser taking centre stage for the introduction to Fire Marengo. What you wouldn't have realised is that Ed had been diagnosed with a brain tumour twelve months previously.

We’re absolutely delighted to let you know will be touring again in November 2026 to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Burlesque! We'll be joined by celebrated kora master Seckou Keita. Tickets go on general sale this Friday at 10am 🥳

Our biggest thanks, again, to @bellowhead.bsky.social for bringing us along as support for their 20th anniversary! We had a wonderful time, and hope you all did too! Look for us next in the new year! www.thelongestjohns.com/live #TheLongestJohns #LiveMusic #FolkMusic #SeaShanty

Bellowhead is the most magical thing. It’s always like returning home 🥲 it’s playing the music I adore with my second family. Thank you Bellowhead. You’re all stunning and I love you. Now to wash my rank smelly clothes, rest my achey legs and sleep for a few weeks. See you all soon 😘

That’s the Bellowhead tour finished. Hard to sum it up but firstly THANK YOU if you came along to party with us. It was the happiest tour I can remember doing. The audiences (32,000+ of you) were so great and our crew were beyond brilliant. They work unbelievably hard to make the show what it is.

As a result of the Bodleian Folk archives being no longer available from today, I'd like to try to get an idea of how many of us use it, how, and how often. It's such a vital resource for so many of us. I've set up an email at hlfolkmusic@gmail.com for this so please do feed back

An amazing tour has come to an end … thank you all for coming!

And finishing with a standing gig! 🎉

Thanks to everyone who has come to see us on this tour. We've had a brilliant time with these wonderful fellas, @TheLongestJohns! You can catch them on tour in February 2025 thelongestjohns.com youtube.com/shorts/cJAyM...

Brilliant @bellowhead.bsky.social gig last night, with a fantastic Sheffield audience singing and dancing. Was great to see Will Sartin on stage. You can see Will and Joe Sartin (Patakas) at café 9, Thurs 12th Dec- book early, it'll sell out.

Absolutely amazing show from @bellowhead.bsky.social last night in Sheffield! The woodpile was well and truly rolled down. Beautiful cameo from Will Sartin as Medallion Man - Paul would approve, methinks.

Back to Fagans for an aftershow session @bellowhead.bsky.social with the birthday boy Will Sartin giving it everything. #fagans #sheffield
