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) and 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 influential music journal, Songlines.

“A beautiful snapshot of two musicians at the pinnacle of their craft. Listeners will find themselves lost in something magical; anyone will struggle to find something as masterful as this for a long, long time” - Bright Young Folk

"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
