Spiers and Boden

Wednesday 10th March 8.00pm
At The Point, Eastleigh

    “The finest instrumental duo on the traditional scene”
The Guardian

The Point, Eastleigh - fast becoming a favoured venue for folk music followers - is delighted to welcome twice winners of BBC Radio 2 folk awards Spiers and Boden to the venue this season.

Spiers and Boden have made the genre of spontaneous, punky English folk very much their own stomping ground.  Loud, proud, and with just a few acoustic instruments, they create a multitude of textures upon which they present traditional stories and dance music which have taken them on to the main stages of major festivals.

Winners of the Best Duo category at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards in both 2004 and 2006, and a Critic’s choice nomination at the BBC World Music Awards, and nominees for the same award in 2009, John & Jon are also founding members of the wildly ambitious eleven piece big-band folk phenomenon, Bellowhead.
