Maddy Prior and Peter Knight New Album Release February 2027
Posted by Peter Knight on July 22nd 2026
Pre-Order Now for Early Delivery (Date Not Yet Known) The much hoped for album from Maddy Prior and Peter Knight's recent reunion is about to become a reality. With a release scheduled for February 2027, along with a ten date tour, the door is open for all of their fans to share the experience that was enjoyed by a fortunate few in February 2026. The costs of producing the album, and the involvement of the team of people tasked with bringing it to fruition, both technically and creatively, are considerable. With no record label involved, pre-orders help to finance those costs, and as a thank you for your involvement, we will ensure that you receive your copy ahead of the general release date. At this point physical copies (CD's) are only available for distribution to UK addresses. Downloads only will be available globally.

Bright Young Folk Reader's Choice Award.
Posted by Peter Knight on January 17th 2026
The Gigspanner Big Band's album Turnstone was chosen by the readers of Bright Young Folk as the Album of the Year 2025. The members of GBB send their thanks to all who voted, and view it as a wonderful honour. This is also a fine opportunity to extend thanks to the Folkscene Radio team for also choosing Turnstone their Album of the Year, and to Fatea Magazine for shortlisting it as an Album of the Year. Added to the 'end of year honours' mentioned in our previous posts, it has been a creatively exciting and fulfilling 2025 for the Band. For us, the key to pushing ourselves creatively and keeping ourselves energised, is not to look back, but to fix on new ideas, new material, new ventures. With those goals in mind, we are looking forward to what 2026 might deliver. We look forward to having you with us on that journey. Thank you.
