njconnal Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 *SPIERS & BODEN* are a sensational folk duo playing the Fusion, Sheffield Student Union, Saturday 13th March, 7pm. They are 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. John Spiers and Jon Boden have been consistently wowing audiences up and down the country for the last 5 years with their unique blend of traditional English folk song with a contemporary twist and hi-octane dance tunes which get everyone dancing. Spiers & Boden now find themselves at the forefront of the new folk revival. “Anyone who needs convincing that the current folk revival is becoming as intriguing, varied and experimental as it was back in the 1960s should check out the remarkable career of John Spiers and Jon Boden. In just a few years, they have established themselves as the finest instrumental duo on the traditional scene, and the contemporary equivalent of Martin Carthy and Dave Swarbrick….”- The Guardian Buy tickets £12 adv (£8 adv NUS) Union Box Office: 0114 222 8777 http://www.shef.ac.uk/union/event.php?contentID=6601 More: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=190389659758&index=1 http://www.spiersandboden.com/ http://www.myspace.com/spiersandboden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
