• Bellowhead
• Justin Adams and Juldeh Camara

We are very pleased to announce that after Jon and John's superb set this year, we will have the full Bellowhead collective at Wychwood 09. "The sound of 44 limbs in pursuit of countless more possibilities",

. The Bellowhead Collective uniquely merge folk, rock, ska, jazz soul and world music influences with dashes of English Music Hall and Cabaret. Between them the musicians play more than 20 instruments, six of them sing and their arrangements are already the stuff of legend. Winners of numerous BBC Folk Awards (including an unparalleled 3 for Best Live Act), the band recently raised the roof at the first BBC Proms Day dedicated to folk at the Royal Albert Hall. "One of the most kick-ass live bands around",

Seasoned by work with Robert Plant and Tinariwen, Justin Adams' driving guitar finds a perfect match in West African Master Musician Juldeh Camara's hypnotic ritti (African fiddle) and powerful voice. Their album Soul Science has been in the fRoots and Songlines top 10 albums of the year, and was also nominated for a Radio 3 World Music award. As a live trio with percussionist Salah Dawson Miller 'a shaman at the court of Genghis Khan', (Evening Standard), they invoke the spirit of ancient juju Rock and Roll, and will be playing for us on Sunday. 'Unquestionably the cross-cultural album of the year', Independent on Sunday.
