Spiro

Spiro first met on the Bristol music scene and have been together, their line-up completely unchanged, for over 20 years. Since formation it was clear that Spiro were not your average acoustic instrumental act, their music being variously likened to "Detroit techno played by a travelling band out of a Hardy novel - or Steve Reich playing the cider-scented backroom of a village pub" by The Word; described as "oddly compelling, strangely soulful music of mind and body" by The Independent On Sunday; and "cinematic, breathtaking and beautiful" by Songlines Magazine.

Listen to just a few bars of any track and their tight ensemble sound is both overwhelming and invigorating. Spiro's approach to composition and performance unlocks an extraordinary emotional response to their music, both on record and live, and it is on stage in particular where their instrumental expertise shines through in all its glory.
