Bassisten i Bellami har altid heddet Pold. Som søn af Henning Pold, Kim Larsens bassist fra 1979 frem til 1995, har Jon Pold set den ikoniske sanger og sangskriver optræde flere gange end de fleste. I dag er han med til at udbrede Larsens sangskat til en ny generation af unge sammen med de originale Bellami-medlemmer Hans Fagt og Mikkel ’Ørva’ Håkonsson.
Mikkel ‘Ørva’ Håkonsson står bag gendannelsen af Kim Larsens originale band: “Det er en følelse af at bygge noget op. Jeg har fået en idé, og nu vokser den”
