LAUGHARNE: Millennium Memorial Hall

WED 17TH JUL, 2013 Doors 7pm concert start 7.30pm

Gigspanner is a Trio formed by Steeleye Span's legendary fiddle player, Peter Knight. Now established as a powerful presence in its own right, the Trio's unique approach to traditional and world music is attracting the attention of a wide variety of music venues and festivals.

Gigspanner's material has its roots in the traditional music of the British Isles. But it also audaciously flirts with Eastern European, Cajun, African, French and even Aboriginal influences. To quote Julian Cowley writing for The Wire "The music reverberates with Anglo-Celtic lilt and melancholy, robust Balkan accents, Middle Eastern and African intricacy and exuberance, Western classical poise and mainstream jazz balladry. It is Intelligent, multi-lingual music making".

It is fitting that Author Terry Pratchett wrote that "Peter Knight can spin the world on his Bow".
