Spiro, Leveret

Spiro are the most exciting quartet you're likely to hear. They use folk friendly instruments and the odd traditional tune, but there is also an affinity with contemporary classical, systems, and dance music. Spiro's music is sweeping, majestic and cinematic - essentially English, beautifully brilliant. "The music is intricately worked out, without the improvisations or solos of a regular folk band, as if they are an inextricable machine...And then the music stops. It's sudden and surprising but the response is a whoop of joy and cries for more" *****Evening Standard
