Peter Knight

The Gigspanner Big Band are a unique musical proposition; they are taking folk music down new and enthralling paths. They are also one of the most exciting live bands you are likely to see this year (or any year, for that matter), and this recording documents their energy, skill and hard work brilliantly.

Our Song of the Day comes from Peter Knight’s Gigspanner who are currently on tour. This is their new music video for ‘Hard Times of Old England’ which is the final track from their latest album Layers of Ages.

Peter Knight’s Gigspanner head out on tour this week and have announced the release of a new live DVD. If you’ve yet to capture the magic of this trio then now’s your chance!

The BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award Winner Megan Henwood has released her aptly named debut album ‘Making Waves’. An offering of allusive self-penned songs whose musical arrangements mirror an emotional journey of strength, strife, hope, love and despair. She demonstrates a mature view of contemporary society unafraid to question socal issues and motives. A spectacular debut!
