The Gigspanner Big Band are a unique force in British folk music…
Having spent much of the past two years touring alongside best-selling author Raynor Winn (The Salt Path) with their prose and music collaboration SALTLINES, the Gigspanner Big Band return to their six-piece format, showcasing material from their new album.
