TWO former members of two of folk rock’s most popular bands team up for a tour including a date this Sunday, March 18, at Bishops Castle Town Hall.

Peter Knight, former violinist with Steeleye Span and now heading his own successful band Gigspanner, and John Spiers, former melodeon player with Bellowhead, decided to get together for the tour after the organisers of FolkEast Festival had the grand idea of pairing them or a special ‘one off’ concert at the 2016 summer festival.

It proved to be one of the highlights of that festival with people standing in the pouring rain still giving them a standing ovation.

Now they undertake their first full tour with the release also of a joint album ‘Well Met’.

Tickets for Sunday’s show cost £14 and are available from the Town Hall on: 01588 630023.
