Formed by ex-Steeleye Span fiddle player Peter Knight, the Gigspanner Big Band are a unique force in British folk music; a union of several of the biggest names on the folk-roots scene. Their high-energy, virtuosic performances blend riotous inventiveness, technically gifted individual playing and subtle collaborative interaction, appealing equally to traditionalists and to those looking for something more experimental. ‘One of the best live bands you are likely to see’ Folk Radio UK. ‘They don't play together often, but when they do it's spectacular’. 5*****R2 Magazine.
