Description
The first live album from the 5 piece Gigspanner Big Band made up of the Gigspanner Trio (Peter Knight, Sacha Trochet and Roger Flack) and the Edgelarks (Philip Henry and Hannah Martin) who formed this collaboration out of a mutual respect and appreciation of each other's music.
"And what a fabulous team they make, together producing a hypnotic, intensely realised fusion which develops organically out of a traditional folk base into a startlingly new musical form with few if any true antecedents even within the hallowed worlds of prog and folk-rock. Although the original traditional songs as presented by Gigspanner are still recognisable from their sources, the onward flights of musical and interpretive fancy are staggering in their natural invention, often arising out of impressionistic flourishes conjured by the texts. It's inevitable that Phillip and Hannah's artistry provides a new dimension to Gigspanner's already pioneering music, but here the whole is even greater than the sum of the individual (and even collective) parts" Fatea Magazine
