Spiers and Boden are an English folk duo. John Spiers plays melodeon and concertina , while Jon Boden sings and plays fiddle and guitar while stamping the rhythm on a stomp box .[1] Spiers and Boden were founding members of the folk band Bellowhead .[2]
Biography [ edit ]
They began playing together in 1999 and their first album as a duo was Through & Through (2001).[3] In 2002 they were both session musicians on Eliza Carthy 's album Anglicana ,[4] and toured with her as part of her band The Ratcatchers.[5] However it was their second album, Bellow , in 2003 that drew significant attention. The tunes and songs were mostly traditional, grounded in the Morris tradition. In the same year they won the "Horizon Award" in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards ,[6] followed by the "Best Duo" [7] category in 2004. Together they play fiddle, guitar, assorted squeezebox instruments, a stomp box and both sing.
An album called simply Tunes came out in summer 2005 and another, Songs , followed in October of the same year. Their fifth album, Vagabond , was released in 2008.
The Works was released on 11 July 2011. It's an album of re-recorded tracks from their 5 albums made as a duo. The album features a number of special guests, including: Fay Hield , James Fagan , Nancy Kerr , Maddy Prior , Martin Carthy , Martin Simpson and Eliza Carthy .[8] [9]
In October 2013, they announced that their 2014 tour would be their last "for the foreseeable future".[10]
In August 2020, Spiers and Boden announced that they would be playing together as a duo again.[11] They performed for the online Folk On Foot festival.
