Hi - thanks for stopping by. We'd love to know where you heard of us, and would be grateful if you'd leave a message to that effect, or even give us a like, please.
If you've been attracted here by recent reviews of our new album 'Fairer Skies', here's the second single from it, written by our good friend, the lovely Anna Shannon
Email info@spoilthedance.com for more information, and details of how to purchase the album, all profits of which are going to local charities....

Probably the final review of 'Fairer Skies', and from arguably the most influential folk music magazine going. Living Tradition don't mince their words, and for the little old Spoils to be compared with premier league performers is quite a thrill. We don't think we come off too badly, do you?
The Spoils on a 50’s jukebox, since you were asking.

We’re grateful to Dave Sissons from the splendid, influential Stirrings magazine for this encouraging and appreciative review. It’s reassuring that all the reviewers ‘get’ what we’re trying to accomplish. Thanks Dave.
We've retained Pathways of Chesterfield as our de facto charity for 2018. Here's a donation from collections at our performances at Banner Cross and Kiveton Park folk clubs.

Many thanks to David Chamberlain for playing The Factory Girl on his splendid Acoustic Routes show on Dapper FM this evening. Cheers.
Unfortunately, Pete James is ill, So we won’t be appearing on his Eye103 show tomorrow. Standby for revised dates in the near future.
If you’re stuck for ‘entertainment’ this Sunday afternoon, tune in to the Pete James show on 103 The Eye at 15:00. We’ll be chatting & playing some of the tracks which have influenced us, and perhaps a few songs live in the studio.
Nice to see ‘The Cat and the Capo’ set getting yet more airplay, this time on the Under The Mason’s Apron podcast (27 mins in). Thanks chaps. After 35 years, we’re stuck with the name, though.
