Spiers and Boden

Event information

Described by The Guardian as “the finest instrumental duo on the traditional scene” and twice winners of the BBC Radio 2 folk award for Best Duo, John Spiers and Jon Boden have made the genre of spontaneous, punky English folk very much their own stomping ground.
Loud, proud, and with just a few acoustic instruments, they create a multitude of textures upon which they present traditional stories and dance music which are as much at home on the main stage of Cambridge Folk Festival as they are in a lock-in at the local pub.
This show is the last in a series of events featuring world class musicians performing on behalf of Assist Sheffield (www.assistsheffield.org.uk) who work with destitute asylum seekers on the streets of Sheffield.Please visit their website to find out more.
