Spiers & Boden
1 July 2022
Last Friday we were at the Stables in Wavendon to see English folk duo Spiers & Boden. John Spiers (melodeon) and Jon Boden (fiddle) are the founders of the wonderful folk big band Bellowhead (reviewed here on many occasions, most recently in December 2020). We last saw them as a duo in 2008 (also at the Stables, reviewed here in December 2008) and it's wonderful to see the two of them touring together again after many years devoted to Bellowhead and their own individual projects. Friday's concert mainly featured tracks from their 2021 album 'Fallow Ground' - a great collection of traditional songs and their own new tunes. Spiers & Boden do sound (unsurprisingly) like Bellowhead without the other instruments, and Jon Boden is a brilliant front man, even when his band is simply John Spiers. Here’s one of the tracks from their new album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poFJINnaA4w
