The band Bellowhead have announced they will split, following a hugely successful 12 years together.
They plan to mark their departure in characteristically ambitious style and have announced a two-part farewell tour for November 2015 and April 2016, which brings them to Aylesbury Waterside Theatre on November 22.
The band formed 'for fun' but have gone on to headline festivals and sell out tours of major concert halls.
They have issued five studio albums, shifting more than 250,000 copies in the process.
Their third, Hedonism, was recorded at legendary Abbey Road Studio and is the highest selling independently released folk album of all time. That's quite an accolade, but it's not the only one.
They also have two silver discs and eight BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, released a songbook with Faber, spent eight years as Artists in Residence at London’s Southbank Centre, recorded theme tunes for The Archers and The Simpsons at the request of the producers, and brewed their own beer... not once, but twice!
In a statement, the band said “It’s in keeping with all the musical and theatrical traditions that make Bellowhead what it is, that we will end at our peak and leave the audience wanting more. The shows always finish on a high, and so should we.”
Tickets go on sale tomorrow (June 12) at 10am.
