Spiers and Boden are wonderful musicians with a deep enthusiasm for traditional songs and tunes.
Their latest album, Vagabond, explores characters on the fringe of society, such as the outlaw Robin Hood, the beggar Tom Padget and the pirate Captain Ward.
These three stirring ballads are played with tremendous verve by the duo, who are also the driving force behind the folk big band Bellowhead.
Other highlights are medleys of fine tunes and a version of The Rain It Rains, sung by Feste, the itinerant jester in Twelfth Night.
Boden plays fiddle and acoustic guitar and sings lead vocals with a feral intensity.
Spiers adds harmony vocals to the vibrant musical mix and switches between melodeon and concertina. His heart-warming bass notes complement Boden's aural filigree.
