anyone who thinks folk can't rock has obviously never attended a bellowhead concert. although deeply steeped in the age-old history of the genre, what sets this unique group apart is the range of other influences they weave into their sound. jazz, funk, english music hall, new orleans marching bands - they're all present in this 11-strong big band's riotous, hugely entertaining performances, which invariably transform their audiences into a kind of medieval mosh pit. 'hedonism' - their third lp - is another masterpiece. tracks like new york girls and broomfield hill are quintessential bellowhead romps, with soaring fiddle, frenzied percussion, some huge brass riffs and, in the latter's case, the rarely heard english bagpipes. yarmouth town and instrumental cross-eyed and chinless superbly showcase the sheer musical virtuosity of the ensemble, able to shift pace, mood and textures effortlessly in faultless display of playing that's sometimes breathtakingly complex yet always totally cohesive.
