The much anticipated debut album from Peter Knight's Gigspanner is now available. 'Lipreading the Poet' will be released on the 5th of November. The work featured on Peter's solo Album 'Too Late for Shadows' encompassed a seam of raw material that has been mined, polished and given renewed value by Gigspanner. Three of those pieces appear on this album. D.W Soundsample: The Butterfly http://www.myspace.com/gigspanner "This debut reverberates with Anglo-Celtic lilt and melancholy, robust Balkan accents, Middle Eastern and African intricacy and exuberance, Western classical poise and mainstream Jazz balladry. Lipreading the Poet is articulate, multi-lingual music making" Julian Cowley for "The Wire".

Peter Knight & Danny Thompson A rare collabortation between Peter Knight and Danny Thompson, featuring two separate pieces totally improvised. Not commercial, not for the faint-hearted, simply an honest exchange of spontaneous musical ideas Recorded in 1995.

"I returned to England after spending nearly four years in the States and it was suggested that Danny Thompson and I should record something together. I had toured with Danny and his band on the A38 project. There are two pieces of music on the album, simply entitled 'Number One' and 'Number Two' which were the first two pieces we played.
