Blowzabella is a genuinely unique band that makes an inimitable, driving, drone-based sound played with a fabulous sense of melody, rhythmic expertise and sheer feeling. All the band members compose and many of their tunes are “standards” in the modern British/European folk repertoire and are played by people all over the world. Bands across Europe who experiment with folk music often cite Blowzabella as a major influence. Much loved and respected, there is no one else quite like them.

BLOWZABELLA are Andy Cutting – diatonic button accordion; Jo Freya – vocals, saxophone, clarinet; Paul James – bagpipes, saxophones; Gregory Jolivet – hurdy-gurdy; David Shepherd – violin; Barn Stradling – bass guitar; Jon Swayne – bagpipes, saxophone.

Blowzabella’s Andy Cutting has just won BBC Folk Awards Musician of the Year …. for the 3rd time. A remarkable achievement for a remarkable musician. Andy joined Blowzabella when he was a teenager and the band was the first showcase for his many talents. The band are doing a short tour in the southern half of England in May where they will be celebrating his success and playing a lot of new material as well as old favourites.
