    I keep coming back to this again and again........ it sooths the soul..... thankyou Peter.
  • Beautiful how guitar and fiddle harmonise, living proof that in the hand of - very - capable musicians any old tune can be brought to life.
  • That was very beautiful. Thank you for a few perfect minutes in a hot, sweaty day!

    Utterly exquisite. Can't stop listening to this.
  • Please come to our part of France in the South East. I last saw Peter in 1970 in an early Steeleye Span gig somewhere in North London. It's time I saw him again. The music of Gigspanner, particularly the latest with the Big Band, take me to heaven and beyond. My group here in France play this tune, known locally as Je vais planter un oranger. We only make it to the clouds...
  • Heard this sung by all the great voices.....this is no words.....exquisite maybe
  • I went to Hexham for Feast of Fiddles last night & to reiterate Roy Stevens comment Peters piece with Marion Fleetwood was out of this world - words can't describe how brilliant it was - Thankyou
