Pandemonium - The Essential

To coincide with their recently announced farewell tours, and due to popular
demand, Bellowhead have released an album of some of the best loved tracks
from the band's five studio albums : 'Pandemonium - The Essential Bellowhead.'
This career retrospective includes 13 carefully selected tracks by the 11 band
members, designed to represent some of the high points of their stellar 11 year
career.

Formed in 2004, the band scarcely imagined that one day they'd be headlining
major UK and international festivals and selling out tours of major concert halls,
or that they'd sell in excess of 250,000 albums, including the highest selling
independently released traditional album of all time (Hedonism) and the highest
charting independently-released UK folk album of all time too (Broadside).
Bellowhead are the proud recipients of two silver discs and have won a total of
eight BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. The band's last studio album 'Revival' (2014) was released by Island Records, entered the UK Album Charts at no.12 and led to three BBC Radio 2 play-listed singles, as well as appearances on mainstream TV.

Early in 2015, lead singer Jon Boden decided to step down from the band and the rest of Bellowhead felt they didn't want to continue without him. "The shows
always finish on a high, and so should we." (Bellowhead)
