Parlour Ballads is the new album from Jon Boden, a piano led record full of sentimental ballads that tie together parlour music and folk song. Parlour Ballads seeks to awaken the sound of the old, well loved, slightly out of tune domestic piano and to reunite it with (or introduce it to) songs that might feel glad of the acquaintance.

Most recognisably he is the lead singer of the multi-award winning folk juggernaut Bellowhead, headlining shows at the Royal Albert Hall and selling hundreds of thousands of records. Jon also performs in his duo Spiers & Boden with John Spiers and has most recently toured with Eliza Carthy. Alongside his solo work and shows with the Remnant Kings he has been commissioned to compose and arrange for the likes of the Royal Shakespeare company.

Parlour Ballads was produced by long time collaborator Andy Bell and features The Remnant Kings - Sam Sweeney, Ben Nicholls, Rob Harbron, Sally Hawkins & M G Boulter. Paul Sartin was a key member of the Remnant Kings for ten years and was involved in the early developments of this album and we can hear his influence across the record.
