Bellowhead play the Princess Theatre on Torquay's seafront to mark the 20th anniversary of their debut album 'Burlesque', with special guest Seckou Keita.
Bellowhead are playing the Princess Theatre on Tuesday 17 November, as part of their Burlesque 20th anniversary tour. The show marks two decades since they released Burlesque, their first full-length album, and they'll be playing it live.
If you're not familiar with the record, it's the one that put them on the map. It's got 'London Town', 'Frog's Legs', 'Dragon's Teeth' and 'Rigs of The Time' on it, so those are the songs you'll hear that night. Bellowhead are an eleven-piece international folk outfit that blend traditional English folk music with a modern big-band sound, and Burlesque was the first time they brought that particular mix to a full album.
They aren't taking the stage alone, either. The Gambian kora player Seckou Keita is joining them as special guest, so there's a second act to look forward to before the main set starts. Between the two of them, you'll get a good few hours of music on the bill.

The Princess Theatre is on Torbay Road, tucked into Princess Gardens on the seafront. It opened back in 1961 with a comedy bill featuring Tommy Cooper and Morecambe & Wise, and it's spent the years since specialising in live music, comedy and musicals. It's a well-known spot for a night out in Torquay, and it's where you'll find Bellowhead on the 17th. The concert starts at 7:00pm, and tickets are £42.48 to £65.44.
