Hello GoodBye – 09.02.13 – Ft: Pepe Belmonte + The Balloons

Live music on Hello GoodBye; with absurdest-rock trio The Balloons and folk-blues troubador Pepe Belmonte.

CJ Proud, Dave Swift and Rik Irvine have been breathing new life into The Balloons for the best part of last four decades.. Slapped senseful by Beefheart, Devo, Henry Cow and Led Zeppelin, The Balloons remain dark and cheery purveyors of juddery, shuddery, jittery, jottery, abstract rockery!

Having grown up in rural south west Ireland, it is hardly surprising to find that Pepe Belmonte has a taste for Irish folk music as well as for old blues and traditional folk. With his distinctive vocal, guitar and harmonica style Pepe’s sensitive songwriting has a strong sense of imagery, melody, rhythm and rhyme.
