Kings Place Festival 2012
Travel to Kings Place
Spiro & Le Vent du Nord
Spectacular new takes on British and French Canadian folk
The Bristol-based quartet Spiro are one of the most innovative bands on the British folk scene. Much of their raw material is traditional but they re-invent and re-construct it so that, organic and contemporary, it sounds like something by Steve Reich or Philip Glass. Their new album Kaleidophonica is getting rave reviews. Spiro are Jane Harbour (violin, viola), Alex Vann (mandolin), Jason Sparkes (accordion) and Jon Hunt (acoustic guitar, cello). They bring together a combined experience in folk, classical, punk and new wave. ‘I think this is soulful music, passionate music and I love it,’ says Peter Gabriel.
Another virtuoso quartet, Le Vent du Nord, bring new life and energy to French Canadian traditions from Quebec. On accordion, fiddle, guitar, hurdy-gurdy and a host of other instruments, this powerful and vivacious band are celebrating their 10th anniversary in 2012.
