For folks sake, head to Whitchurch for Spiers & Boden

By Caroline King - October 3, 2011Posted in : Music

Spiers & Boden -10th Anniversary Tour When: 31st October 2011 at 8pm

Where: The Talbot Theatre, Whitchurch, Shropshire SY13 2BY

£: 14 (concessions 12)

What is it?

Described by The Guardian as “the finest instrumental duo on the traditional scene” and twice winners of the BBC Radio 2 folk award for Best Duo, 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 onto the main stages of major festivals. For one night only in Whitchurch, make the most of it!
