BLOWZABELLA - Sidmouth Folk Festival 2018

Blowzabella pay tribute to Sidmouth Folk Festival with a film by Simon Houlihan (with thanks to Joe Garcia and Paul James). Blowzabella is a genuinely unique band founded in London in 1978. The band make an inimitable, driving drone-based sound played with a fabulous sense of melody, rhythmic expertise and sheer feeling. They compose their own music which is influenced by English and European traditional dance music. Many of their tunes have become "standards" in the modern folk repertoire and are played by people all over the world. In 2018 they celebrated 40 years with gigs and festival appearances in the UK and Europe including this concert at Sidmouth Folk Festival. No Morris dancers were harmed in the making of this video. http://www.blowzabella.co.uk
