Peter Knight’s Gigspanner, ”From Poets To Wives” (Talking Elephant)- Veteran folkie Peter Knight is best remembered these days for his musical exploits with Steeleye Span during the early seventies but the demon fiddler actually received a classical training at the Royal Academy of Music a decade or so earlier. In more recent years this master musician has focussed his attentions on the development of Gigspanner , a ground breaking trio whose open-minded approach to music making has been attracting critical plaudits ever since their debut album first saw the light of day a decade or so ago. “From Poets To Wives” was compiled by Peter himself, bringing together his favourite pieces from their recorded repertoire to date as Gigspanner serve up their dazzling reinventions of everything from the much recorded “She Moved Through The Fair” to a slice of 18th century social commentary from his Steeleye days,entitled “Hard Times of Old England.”
