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?

Working with Ed has always been an immense source of joy for us all and we are devastated by his loss.

Tragically in October this year he discovered that the cancer had come back. We are unbelievably sad to have to tell you all that Ed passed away on Christmas Eve surrounded by his family. All our love goes out to his wife Cathryn and his two wonderful children James and Beth.

Thankfully his chemo went very well, and with
characteristic strength and determination he went ahead with the Bellowhead tour. As far as anyone knew, he was fully recovered.

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.

A black and white photo of Andy, Robbie, and JD all in a fairly nonchalant style, looking at the camera. Andy has a banjo slung around his neck, Robbie with a big grin on his face, and JD pulling an "ooh sir" expression whilst leaning on a chair. Behind them is the Dome in Brighton, waiting to be filled later with an audience.
A group photo of both Bellowhead, The Longest Johns, and their various tech crews arranged in three tiers across the stage.
A shot from the rear side of the stage, facing out to the empty Brighton Dome, presumably not long before doors opened and the many awaiting seats were filled with audience.
An action shot of Bellowhead live on stage, in the middle of a song, with the audience in the foreground, cast in yellow light, along with more yellow spotlights along the background, in contrast to the blue fabric draped across the back. Of note is John Boden in semi-silhouette who is stood on a platform at the front of the stage, mic to his mouth in song, and left hand raised pointing skyward.
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!

A photograph of the band Bellowhead at the end of their show in Manchester tonight.
I don't say very much on here, but I just have to say that the Bellowhead concert in Manchester tonight was outstanding!
