Jon Boden is a singer, composer and musician, best known as lead singer and main arranger of Bellowhead. His first instrument is the fiddle and he is a leading proponent of “English traditional fiddle style” and also of “fiddle singing”, both of which he employs in Bellowhead, in the duo Spiers & Boden, and previously as a member of Eliza Carthy’s Ratcatchers. To date Jon Boden has been the recipient of 11 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, more than any other musician. Boden also fronts his own band the Remnant Kings, put together in 2009 to perform his post-apocalyptic song cycle ''Songs From The Floodplain''. He has also made contributions to many other albums as a fiddler, singer and guitarist, most notably two albums with Fay Hield & The Hurricane Party. In 2010 he launched an ambitious project to record and deliver A Folk Song A Day on line, aiming to inspire others to build a repertoire of songs and engage in social singing. All 365 songs are now available on iTunes, Spotify and YouTube, as well as on the www.afolksongaday.com website. Boden holds a Masters Degree in Musical Theatre and has worked on numerous, prestigious theatrical productions, including two plays with the Royal Shakespeare Company. In 2012 Jon was commissioned to create a stage show based on ''The Ballad Of Little Musgrave And Lady Barnard'' as part of the Benjamin Britten centenary celebrations. As a composer Boden’s output has grown increasingly diverse, crossing over into classical, choral, dance, pop, film and television. ==Education, Early musical development and Theatre work.== Boden was born in Chicago in 1977 but grew up in Winchester, England, where he attended Henry Beaufort School and Peter Symonds College.
