From poets to wives

"What started as a sideline for the Steeleye fiddler has become not only a full-time occupation but one of the most inventive and thrilling experimental folk bands around. 2019 marked the tenth anniversary of the release of Lipreading the Poet, the debut album by Peter Knight's Gigspanner and this "best-of", curated by Peter, is designed to raise Gigspanner's profile and promote a wider appreciation of the group. While they've been well-covered on Folk Radio, if you haven't heard them already, boy are you in for a treat... While Greatest Hits albums are often declared as "over" with the argument that everyone can access your back catalogue online now, that's not the case with Gigspanner. Only two of their early albums are available on Spotify and fans usually purchase albums directly, either from their website or at live gigs ... Peter Knight's Gigspanner is a national treasure and we need their uplifting and alluring music right now. This is the best of the very best".
