In the same year they won the “Horizon Award” in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards [1], followed by the “Best Duo” [2] category in 2004. A new album called simply Tunes came out in summer 2005 and another, and Songs followed in October of the same year. Spiers and Boden were founding members of the folk band Bellowhead, which is a project that aims to combine traditional English folk music with a brass band sound. Their new album, Vagabond, was released on Navigator Records on 26th May 2008.... Read More About Spiers & Boden Biography...  Send Spiers & Boden ringtones to your cell
