About Gigspanner Trio - RAOS Hall

Since his inaugural performance with the fledgling Steeleye Span in 1970, Peter Knight has been a mainstay of the British folk scene.
Never one to rest on his laurels, Peter has carved a reputation as a relentlessly questing musician as mercurial as quicksilver (Simon Jones/fRoots), and it is never quite so apparent as in his work with the various Gigspanner line-ups.

In the wake of his departure from Steeleye Span, Peter turned his full attention to the Gigspanner Trio and established their reputation as one of the most genuinely ground-breaking forces 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 , they take self-penned material along with music rooted in the British Isles and beyond, and with the flick of a bow, a finely chosen chord or slip of a beat, produce richly atmospheric arrangements with notes seemingly plucked from the stars and rhythms from the equator (Spiral Earth).
