Jon Boden and John Spiers

Voted best duo in the Radio 2 Folk awards Boden and Spiers have been at the forefront o reinvigorating traditional English music as we know it. Boden is a superb fiddle player with a powerful voice and stage presence. He literally gives the music real kick with his infamous stomp board. Spiers has comes from a strong Morris tradition and makes the melodeon sing. They are highly inventive and the tunes are punched out with rhythmic inventiveness and subtle harmonies. It is impossible to stay still and not smile! They are the founder members and the inspiration for mega band Bellowhead and for some time have been two of Eliza Carthy’s Ratcatchers.
One NOT to miss!!
