SUMMARY:Gispanner Big Band
DESCRIPTION:Landmark Arts Centre\, Ferry Road\, Teddington\, TW11 9NN\n\n&n
 bsp\;\n\nThe Gigspanner Big Band are a unique force in British folk music
 …\n\nHaving spent much of the past two years touring alongside best-sell
 ing author Raynor Winn (The Salt Path) with their massively successful pro
 se and music collaboration SALTLINES\, the Gigspanner Big Band return to t
 heir six-piece format\, launching their brand new album\, Turnstone.\n\nTh
 eir high-energy\, virtuosic performances appeal equally to traditionalists
  and to those looking for something more experimental\, and they have garn
 ered praise from publications as varied as fRoots\, The Telegraph and The 
 Wire\, where they were described as ‘melodically folk-rooted yet open an
 d innovative beyond the constraints of genre’\n\nBeginning life as a tri
 o – with legendary Steeleye Span fiddle player Peter Knight being join
 ed by percussionist Sacha Trochet and guitarist Roger Flack – the line-u
 p has been expanded to form the Gigspanner Big Band\, with acclaimed multi
 -instrumental duo Edgelarks (Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin – BBC Fo
 lk Awards ‘Best Duo’) and Bellowhead co-founder and melodeon player 
 extraordinaire\, John Spiers\, joining the fray.\n\nWhile Peter Knight\, a
 s part of Steeleye Span’s classic 1970s line-up\, helped invent a brand 
 of folk rock that is still influential today\, John Spiers\, has had an eq
 ually profound impact on the landscape of traditional music over the last 
 two decades.\n\nCharacterised by riotous inventiveness\, technically gifte
 d individual playing and subtle collaborative interaction\, this coming to
 gether of several of the biggest names on the folk-roots scene\, combines 
 a deep knowledge of roots traditions with a ceaselessly boundary pushing a
 pproach.\n\n“Spectacular” 5***** R2 Magazine\n\n“Utterly thrilling
 ” Northern Soul\n\n“Totally blown away by the spellbinding Gigspanner 
 Big Band. Lost for words…” Folking.com\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nTickets: £29\n\n
