“Their collective elan has a forceful presence unmatched in British folk” The Guardian
The Gigspanner Big Band is a unique force in British folk music. Their high-energy, virtuosic performances appeal equally to traditionalists and to those looking for something more experimental. Beginning life as a trio – with fiddle player Peter Knight being joined by percussionist Sacha Trochet and guitarist Roger Flack – the line-up has been expanded to form the Gigspanner Big Band, with acclaimed multi-instrumental duo Edgelarks (Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin – BBC Folk Awards’ “Best Duo”) and Bellowhead co-founder and melodeon player extraordinaire, John Spiers, joining the fray after wowing Deal audiences last year with Jon Boden. As collaborations go, it doesn’t get much more mouth-watering than this.
