Spiers and Boden are an English folk duo. John Spiers plays melodeon, concertina and most other squeezeboxes, while Jon Boden plays fiddle, guitar, sings, duet concertina and stamps out the rhythm on a piece of board. They began playing together in 1999 and their first album as a duo was Through and Through (2001). In 2002 they were both session musicians on Eliza Carthy's album Anglicana, and toured with her as part of her band The Ratcatchers. However it was their second album, Bellow, in 2003 that drew significant attention. The tunes and songs were mostly traditional, grounded in the Morris tradition. In the same year they won the "Horizon Award" in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards [1], followed by the "Best Duo" [2] category in 2004. An album called simply Tunes came out in summer 2005 and another, and Songs followed in October of the same year. Vagabond was released in 2008. Spiers and Boden were founding members of the folk band Bellowhead.
