Peter Knight & John Spiers

Both Peter Knight and John Spiers have made long lasting and significant contributions to the English folk scene via their work with Steeleye Span and Bellowhead respectively, and each in their own way has changed the perception of what traditional music can be, introducing it to much wider audiences. 

As members of the Gigspanner Big Band, they have expanded those boundaries ever further. 

'Folk A-Listers', 'Folk Royalty', 'Folk Icons' are terms frequently applied to them, but what it means in reality is that they bring the best of traditional music to any stage they play.

The exquisite explorations of the liminal space that exists between traditional and classical music is what makes the music of Peter Knight and John Spiers so compelling and beguiling, ultimately rendering genres irrelevant.
