Peter, who played in Steeleye Span for 40 years, formed the trio Gigspanner in 2008. It features Roger Flack on guitar and Sacha Trochet on drums.

The Gigspanner Big Band adds more top folk musicians to the line-up: Phillip Henry & Hannah Martin (aka Edgelarks) and Bellowhead co-founder John Spiers. Their album, Natural Invention', comes out on 10 April 2020.

Also this week, Mark pays tribute to the late Julie Felix.

Plus the usual mix of exciting new releases, classic tracks and news from the folk world.
