Gigspanner Big Band

Off the back of two years touring the hugely successful SALTLINES prose and music collaboration, Peter Knight (Steeleye Span) returns with this forward thinking folk and roots super group. 

Characterised by riotous inventiveness, technically gifted individual playing and subtle collaborative interaction, this coming together of several of the biggest names on the folk-roots scene combines a deep knowledge of roots traditions with a ceaselessly boundary pushing approach. 

Featuring melodeon player John Spiers (Bellowhead, Spiers and Boden), percussionist Sacha Trochet, guitarist Roger Flack and acclaimed multi-instrumental duo Edgelarks (Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin).

“With the Gigspanner Big Band, Peter Knight has assembled a group of musicians intent on making some of the most important and exhilarating art ever to sit under the banner of folk music” FRUK
