SINCE his departure from folk-rock pioneers Steeleye Span at the end of 2013, legendary fiddle player Peter Knight has turned his full attention to his trio Gigspanner, establishing the band as one of the most innovative acts on the folk/roots scene, garnering along the way a reputation for dismantling traditional music and song and reassembling it in an intriguing, imaginative and beautiful way.

On Thursday, November 10, Gigspanner will be playing at The Church of St Mary the Virgin in Ross-on-Wye.

This year has seen Peter receive Fatea Magazine's 'Instrumentalist of the Year' Award and also the ‘Best Musician’ in the inaugural folking.com Awards as voted for by the concert-going public.

In April, Gigspanner were invited by BBC Radio 3 to perform at the Shakespeare 400 Celebrations in Stratford-upon-Avon as part of the ‘Shakespeare and Music’ concert, hosted by Verity Sharp.

Their 2015 album Layers of Ages has featured on several ‘Album of the Year’ listings including The Telegraph, R2 magazine, and BBC Radio.

Peter is joined by Roger Flack on guitar and Vincent Salzfaas on Percussion, both of whom are powerful and intelligent musicians in their own right.
