The finest instrumental duo on the traditional scene, twice winners of the BBC Radio 2 folk award for Best Duo, Spiers and Boden have made the genre of spontaneous English folk their own. With just a few acoustic instruments, they present traditional stories and dance music in a fresh, new and exhilarating style.
They are also founding members of the wildly ambitious, 11 piece big-band folk phenomenon, Bellowhead (BBC Folk Awards for Best Live Act in 2005, 2007, 2008, Observer Top 20 albums of 2007) and have enjoyed a long-term collaboration with Eliza Carthy as The Rat Catchers and performed on her Nationwide Mercury Prize nominated album Anglicana
