Every so often, pioneers emerge whose imaginative approach to playing traditional music causes people to sit up and listen. Peter Knight and John Spiers (whilst hardly qualifying as ’emerging’ artists) are one such example. Their most recent album ‘Both in a Tune’ has received outstanding critical acclaim, and was named as one of the ‘10 Best New Albums from Around the World’ by the music journal, Songlines.
