SPIRO

Plus support.
Cabaret Style Seating.


They might bear the tools of the folk musician and be partial to the odd traditional tune, but Spiro have closer affinities to the worlds of contemporary classical and dance music than they do to the folk scene.

This four-piece contemporary ensemble take a meticulous approach to composition and performance, creating a sound much greater than their parts (accordion, mandolin, acoustic guitar and violin) would suggest. Their recent album 'Lightbox', on Peter Gabriel's Real World Records - is sweeping, majestic and cinematic.
