A night of live music with the celebrated and hugely talented duo of Rowan Piggott and Joe Danks. With support from Nick Johan Davis

Haarlem of Wirksworth

Old Spot (Rowan Piggott &amp; Joe Danks) burst onto the scene in 2023 with a critically acclaimed debut album and a whirlwind UK tour, quickly establishing themselves as a fresh force in old-time music. Praised for their raw energy and expressive musicianship, the duo lit up stages across UK/EU folk, bluegrass, and old-time festivals.Now, in 2025/26, Old Spot continue to push the boundaries of stringband tradition – digging deeper into the roots of old-time while crafting a live show that’s equal parts intimate and electrifying. Their forthcoming album, recorded in the Scottish Borders, captures this evolving sound with fresh material and atmospheric arrangements. Whether trading close harmonies, ripping into a tune, or experimentally reworking a classic, Old Spot captivate audiences with a sound that’s both steeped in tradition and boldly original. <a href="https://www.oldspotmusic.com/" title="https://www.oldspotmusic.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.oldspotmusic.com/</a> With support from solo instrumental guitarist <a href="https://www.nickjonahdavis.com/" title="https://www.nickjonahdavis.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Nick Jonah Davis</a> Press“The sound is fresh, modern and spacious, but thisremains traditional old time music played with a deeprespect and a clear connection to the originalrecordings.
