Soundbox Presents: An Evening With Peter Knight's Gigspanner Trio

Back for a second SoundBox gig, after their truly memorable performance in 2018, we welcome Peter Knight's Gigspanner (with Roger Flack and Sacha Trochet) on their 'Farewell for Now' tour - you may not see them for a while, so early booking advised. In the wake of his departure from Steeleye Span, Peter Knight has pulled focus on his trio Gigspanner, and in the process has established their reputation as a genuinely ground-breaking force on the British folk scene, described by Folk Radio UK as one of the most quietly brilliant sets of musicians in the folk world and beyond. Unhindered by the limits of technical ability (Spiral Earth), they take self-penned material along with music rooted in the British Isles and with the flick of a bow, a finely chosen chord or slip of a beat, produce richly atmospheric arrangements layered in a wealth of subliminal musical influences with notes seemingly plucked from the stars and rhythms from the equator . Witness this true folk phenomenon for yourself!
