Peter Knight & John Spiers Event Information page

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, and more recently with the Gigspanner Big Band, and each has changed the perception of what traditional music can be, simultaneously introducing it to much wider, including global, audiences.

 Originally brought together by FolkEast Festival for a one-off concert in 2016, their partnership has blossomed into  “One of the most intriguing and exciting collaborations on today's folk scene” KLOF Magazine.

 The pairing of violin and melodeon is not a new one, but in the hands of Knight and Spiers, improvisation and invention meet the listener at every turn. Together they have created a something to inspire future generations of musicians to engage with Britain’s folk dancing heritage, and the beautiful, mysterious tunes that can be found within that heritage.

 "There can be no doubting 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” Fatea Magazine
