Knight & Spiers

Descripción

Blaxhall Sessions - 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 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. With their latest studio album, Both in a Tune, they have created a musical document that resonates with history, but also something to inspire future generations of musicians to engage with Britain’s folk music heritage.Their collaboration began in 2016 at FolkEast ... here's to another ten years of sublime musicianship. “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” Tradfolk
