Event information

The pairing of violin and melodeon is not a new one, but in the hands of Peter Knight (Steeleye Span) and John Spiers (Bellowhead), improvisation and invention meet the listener at every turn. Together they have created a something to inspire future generations of musicians to engage with Britain’s folk dancing heritage, and the beautiful, mysterious tunes that can be found within that heritage.
Originally brought together by FolkEast Festival for a one-off concert in 2016, their partnership has blossomed into “One of the most intriguing and exciting collaborations on today's folk scene” FRUK
"There can be no doubting that both performers are amongst the most, if not the most, talented of their peers. I was probably not the only person to leave the venue in awe at having witnessed something very special” Fatea Magazine

This is part of the Tinners Moon Festival 2023 at Ashburton Arts Centre, 15 West St, Ashburton, Devon, TQ13 7DT. This runs from 21 April – 8 May. For more infomation, go to ashburtonarts.org.uk
