John Spiers & Jon Boden - Through & Through (2006)

This is where it all started. The emergence of the duo that were to go on to win numerous BBC Folk Awards and later to form the powerhouse that is Bellowhead. Debut release from John Spiers and Jon Boden. Their brand of driving, footstomping English traditional tunes and highly individual vocals certainly make them stand out and have already drawn rave reviews from live audiences, folk press and fellow artists such as Martin Carthy. The emphasis is on English traditional music, this is go for it, living on the edge music played and sung with flair and panache. Sit up and take notice.
