East Festival had the grand idea of pairing Peter Knight and John Spiers for a special 'one off' concert at that year's festival.

In the event, it ended up being a genuine festival highlight, with no space to be found in the Marquee and people standing five deep in pouring rain. For a few minutes at the close of their performance, with a standing ovation and roars for more, it didn't seem as though the audience was going to let them go.. As the MC commented, it was one of those occasions when people could say "I was there". It was clear that matters couldn't end there, and it is with great pleasure that we announce their return to Folk. East 2. 01. 7. Look out for details of their debut tour in March 2. It's going to be a fabulous one.

Knight and Spiers now have a Facebook page at https: //www. Knight- and- Spiers- 1.

February 2. 01. 7Radio Interview We trotted off to the BBC Tunbridge Wells on Sunday night to talk to a couple of presenters about our new album, and we are sending a rough mix of a song we are recording to BBC Radio Leeds folk show 'The Durbervilles'.

The show will be broadcast on the 1. February. We also spoke to Doug Welch, BBC radio Kent. Nice man. We also went to the pub around the corner and drank some beer. Cheers. ps. Check out the Gigspanner site for more info and a pic. February 2. 01. 7New Gigspanner Studio Album. I've written something about this on the Gigspanner website, so here's something a little different for my site. Last night I went to the session in a pub in Hastings and drank lots of lovely beer and played loads of lovely music.

What a great bunch of musicians to play with. There is an Irish hornpipe that I played in the sixties with a fantastic fiddler called Martin Byrnes.

I played it last night at the session and although one of the musicians sort of knew it, it's not a tune that's played very often these days. I love it. It's unusual and not predictable. When I played it to Roger and Sacha they both loved it. We worked on it and it's just fantastic to play. It's one of those tracks that we will record together so that the energy of us reacting to each other's playing isn't lost by us recording our parts separately.

So there we have it. All good this end.

I do have the best job in the world. Oh! I forgot to mention the cheese on toast. Watch It Lives In The Attic Online Free HD more. Thanks Mr Flack. Talk soon. Peter. 1. 0th December 2. Gigspanner Big Band Plays Cropredy Our really big news, as many of you will have seen announced last night, is that the Gigspanner 'Big Band' with Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin, has the honour of playing at Fairport's 5. Cropredy Convention in August.

November 2. 01. 6Full of Gigspanner. At last. A few days off to catch up on all those things that have got away from me. This update being one of them. My life is so full of Gigspanner work that my own endeavours away from the band take second place. I don't mind that.

Usually, the reason why musicians in bands want to pursue solo work is that they are not satisfied musically in the band. I have no thoughts like that with Gigspanner. Roger Flack is the guitarist that inspires me to play my best. You may have heard that Vincent, our drummer, has had to leave this tour for personal reasons, giving us a forced and unexpected opportunity to play with two other drummers, Gary Hammond and Sacha Trochet. Both brilliant drummers and a joy to play with. Life goes on. Vincent was very upset when he called me to say that he was needed at home and couldn't finish the tour.

I have never experienced that. Horrible. Gigspanner to one side for a moment, I will be playing some more with John Spiers. We have spoken about our gig at Folkeast festival earlier in the year, and both want to do some more playing together. When, where and how will be sorted in the new year. Oh! Also sending my best wishes to Rick Kemp who I understand publicly announced that he will no longer be playing with my old band Steeleye Span. Not so much of the old! Good luck young Rick.

So all good. Three more gigs on this tour, three days recording my parts for the new Feast of Fiddle studio album, then heads down for Christmas. I'm looking forward to getting home now, firing up my studio and getting on with some new material. Talk soon. Peter. PS. Below is my post on Facebook. A few days off to reflect on recent events. As you may know, Vincent had to leave the tour for personal reasons, and we invited two drummers to play with us. Gary Hammond played seven gigs with us and he was an absolute delight to play with.

He had lots of work that he couldn't shift, so he was driving home each night after the gig so that he could fulfil prior commitments. What a hero. His playing is so fluid and musical and just slotted in to Roger's and my playing as though he had played with us for years. Thanks Gary. You're a star. Lucky again to have Sacha Trochet available to play four gigs with us. He has played two so far and two to go.

His playing is also superb and right on the money with time and tempo and groove.
