OLD SPOT

Haarlem of WirksworthWirksworth, England
Saturday, Apr 18 from 7 pm to 10:30 pm
Overview

Join us at Haarlem Shop for a night of live music with the clebrated talented duo of Rowan Piggott and Joe Danks. With support TBC

Old Spot (Rowan Piggott & 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.

“The sound is fresh, modern and spacious, but this

remains traditional old time music played with a deep

respect and a clear connection to the original

recordings. Old Spot is an uplifting melting pot of

different approaches which merge seamlessly."

“Entrancing & hypnotic... music to lose yourself in”

– Americana UK


“Two exceptionally talented musicians... just the

right amount of raw edge and intimate excitement...

sheer bliss! There's energy and commitment in

abundance on this exhilarating collection, which sure

hits the spot...” – Folk London (★★★★★)


“Their mastery of idioms is compelling, and the

elegance, fluency, yet unpretentiousness of Old Spot

acts as a perfect vehicle. I find the range of material

exhilarating...” – RnR Magazine (★★★★)


“Blending openly expressive talent and bundles of

enthusiasm... the duo radiate endless passion,

knowledge and easy on the ear skill... the way they

present the music is all-reaching and wholly

inclusive... once word gets around bookings right

across the scene will have to be fought off”

– Three Chords and the Truth
