British Folk at Stapleford Granary
Saturday April 15, 2023
£11.00 – £22.00Peter Knight, violin | John Spiers, melodeon
Peter Knight and John Spiers are amongst the most distinguished of British folk musicians. Virtuoso fiddle player Peter Knight was part of Steeleye Span’s classic 1970s line-up and helped invent a brand of folk rock that is still influential today. John Spiers, co-founder of the almighty Bellowhead, has had an equally profound impact on the landscape of traditional music over the last two decades.
As a duo, they are thrilling exponents of folk music, using old tunes as a starting point for musical exploration and improvisation. Their latest album as a duo Both in a Tune, released in February 2022, was chosen as one of the ‘10 Best New Albums from Around the World’ by the influential music journal, Songlines.
