An alternative (and occasional) music posting highlighting something out of the ordinary. Perhaps of limited appeal, unconventional, experimental or just far-out ! Call it what you like (or switch it off, if you don't like). 

The timing of this Spot will become apparent when you see the title of the tunes.
I was fortunate enough to see these artists in concert a month ago down in Hastings. 
Peter Knight (formerly Steeleye Span: 1971-2013) on fiddle.
and John Spiers (formerly Bellowhead: 2004-2016) on melodeon. 
Both now play in the Gigspanner band. More on that this coming Friday. 
With Peter Knight it's not just folk, there's classical and jazz elements in his playing and I think the first piece is very classical while the second is a Triple Hornpipe and a merry old dance. 
So we have 'Easter Thursday / Three Case Knives' - and one of those lockdown videos we became so familiar with - (Morris dancing at Easter time) > 


As mentioned above this is part 1 of a two part theme. Back Friday ...
