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.

An extraordinary collaboration between two musicians at the absolute top of their game. This is an adventure that takes in musical detours you'd be mad to ignore

A beautiful snapshot of two musicians at the pinnacle of their craft. Listeners will find themselves lost in something magical; anyone will struggle to find something as masterful as this for a long, long time
Bright Young Folk
There can be no doubt that both performers are amongst the most, if not the most, talented of their peers. I was probably not the only person to leave the venue in awe at having witnessed something very special
