Gigspanner Returns

Since leaving Steeleye Span at the end of 2013, legendary fiddle player, Peter Knight, has focused on his trio Gigspanner, firmly establishing their burgeoning reputation as one of the most innovative acts on the folk-roots scene.

Met with critical acclaim, Gigspanner’s riveting new album ‘Layers of Ages’ has been added to the Telegraph’s ‘Best Folk Albums of 2015’ list for its authentic moments of staggering originality and great beauty,

Gigspanner will be presenting an evening of material that goes way beyond the folk genres usual boundaries.  Modern in interpretation, yet classical in its virtuosity, it is music that continues to inspire audiences of all leanings, bringing them back for more.

Peter is joined by Roger Flack on guitar and Vincent Salzfaas on percussion.
