Coming Up: Gigspanner Big Band at the Old Town Hall
Our friends at the Old Town Hall, Trowbridge have a cracking concert this week:
Gigspanner Big Band – Friday 30th October 2026
If you’re local to Trowbridge, we highly recommend coming along. There are still a few tickets available.
Who are the Gigspanner Big Band?
“The kind of re-enchantment which only comes from top-class musicians with a deep understanding of their material. Simply remarkable.”
5 stars – R2 Magazine
The Gigspanner Big Band are a unique force in British folk music. Their high-energy, virtuosic performances appeal equally to traditionalists and to those looking for something more experimental. They have garnered praise from publications as varied as fRoots, The Telegraph and The Wire, where they were described as “melodically folk-rooted yet open and innovative beyond the constraints of genre.”
The band began life as a trio. Legendary Steeleye Span fiddle player Peter Knight was joined by percussionist Sacha Trochet and guitarist Roger Flack. The line-up has since expanded to form the Gigspanner Big Band, with two new additions:
- the acclaimed multi-instrumental duo Edgelarks (Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin, BBC Folk Awards “Best Duo”)
- Bellowhead co-founder and melodeon player extraordinaire John Spiers
As collaborations go, they don’t get more mouth-watering than this.
The band is known for riotous inventiveness, technically gifted individual playing and subtle interaction between the players. It brings together several of the biggest names on the folk-roots scene, combining a deep knowledge of roots traditions with a ceaselessly boundary-pushing approach.
See you at the Old Town Hall, and see you in July!
