Gigspanner

The Arts Centre will play host to legendary fiddle player Peter Knight and his band of folk musicians - THIS FRIDAY

 

The Arts Centre, Swindon

Friday 14 November 2014, 8.00pm

 
Peter Knight’s Gigspanner has been hailed by Songlines magazine as “another milestone in folk’s rebirth of cool”, although to classify these three virtuoso performers purely as folk musicians is to undersell them by a long chalk.

 

A bedrock of British traditional music is to be expected from Steeleye Span’s erstwhile legendary fiddle player. But, Gigspanner’s musical reach flirts with Eastern European, French, Cajun, African and even Aboriginal influences, transporting audiences on a “blistering pace of a musical world tour” Folkcast, prompting Sir Terry Pratchett to write “Peter Knight can spin the world on his Bow”.

 
Within Gigspanner, Peter’s musicianship is further enhanced by the flawless playing of Roger Flack on Guitar and Vincent Salzfaas on Congas and Djembe.
