Gigspanner band to perform in Rye

Anyone who was fortunate enough to have caught Peter Knight’s Gigspanner when they were playing the pubs and bars of Hastings, won’t be surprised by the rapid ascent they have made to become a permanent fixture on the UK Folk/Roots scene.

But then former Hastings stalwart and celebrated violinist, Peter Knight, is no ordinary musician. Steeleye Span’s fiddle player extraordinaire has accrued a lifetime’s worth of superlatives from both the music press and fellow musicians. Tickets £13 advance/£14 on the door, available from B & T Music, in Claremont, and Grammar School Records, High Street, Rye.
