Bellowhead – or around half the acclaimed, award-winning 11-strong folk band – are huddled under a little marquee by the Thames in front of London's Southbank Centre, where they have recently been inducted as artists in residence. They're surrounded by a large crowd, a good few of whom are sitting at the front with fiddles, accordions, oboes, whistles, even a euphonium. "We put songs up on the website," says the band's lead vocalist, Jon Boden, "so people could come and play along. It's all traditional English dance music – not stuff we do normally. It was busking it, really."
