Press Quotes
The first reviews to be published
have been full of praise for the new studio album...
"The
development of Gigspanner during their time together is astonishing.
An album of the year without doubt" R2 Magazine 5, Star
Review
"A
glorious musical tour de force...simply exquiste. What makes
Gigspanner unique is the variety of musical colours on their palette.
What makes them brilliant is how they blend them without ever
muddying the landscape"
Spiral
Earth
"Full
of virtuosic playing. The musicianship on this album is
outstanding"
Bright
Young Folk
"Transforming British folk song into a bold, original
blend of the exotic and eclectic. There aren't many fiddle players
who could be mentioned in the same breath as Peter Knight" Louder Than War
"Well worth the wait - a real showcase for Peter
Knight's virtuostic playing and the band's diverse influences. An
album to relish" Folkcast
"Traditional music at its most intelligent -
instinctively innovative, masterfully crafted" London Live
"This trio's second studio album is another
remarkably imaginative and eclectic sequence of
arrangements...entirely captivating on first hearing" Living
