Biography

Blowzabella is an English band who play bagpipes, hurdy-gurdies and an array of acoustic instruments to produce an inimitable, driving, drone-based sound influenced by British and European traditional dance music. Many of their tunes have become "standards" in the modern folk repertoire. Bands who experiment with the boundaries of folk music often cite Blowzabella as a major influence.
