New Album Preview Tour

"There’s

something of the proverbial elder statesman about Peter Knight, in terms of his

place in music, which cannot be overstated. It’s not just in the quality of his

playing...there’s a focus on the sheer inventiveness of Peter’s playing, in the

Adventurous arrangements he shares with his collaborators, and in his musical

Leadership”

Since his

inaugural performance with the fledgling Steeleye Span in 1970, Peter Knight has

been a mainstay of the British folk scene.

Never one to

rest on his laurels, Peter has carved a reputation as a relentlessly questing

Musician “as mercurial as quicksilver”, and it is never quite so

apparent as in his work with the various Gigspanner line-ups.

The Gigspanner

Trio is the beating heart from which all other lineups have evolved, and the

One most loved by many for the intimacy and Joy manifest in their virtuosic

performances. Audiences revel in the opportunity to witness ‘up close and

personal’ the almost telepathic communication that exists between Peter

guitarist Roger Flack and hand percussionist, Sacha Trochet.

This

concert is an extra special one as the Trio will be showcasing selected pieces

From their long waited new album.

Described by Folk Radio UK as one of the “most

Quietly brilliant sets of musicians in the folk world and beyond”, they

take self-penned material along with music rooted in the British Isles and

Beyond, and with the flick of a bow, a finely chosen chord or slip of a beat

Produce richly atmospheric arrangements “with notes seemingly plucked

from the stars and rhythms from the equator” (Spiral Earth).
