简介：
Peter Knight (not to be confused with the pop music conductor\u002Farranger of the same name) is one of the most respected musicians to come out of the early-'70s English folk-rock boom. A banjo\u002Ffiddle virtuoso -- but also a multi-instrumentalist with proficiency on guitar, keyboards, and bass, among other instruments -- he is best known for his work as a member of Steeleye Span. But Knight has also appeared on numerous recordings as a session musician, in addition to issuing his own albums. Knight was born in London in 1947, and took up the mandolin and the violin as a boy -- he entered the Royal Academy of Music in his early teens and graduated at 17. During the early to mid-'60s, he heard the recordings of Irish fiddle virtuoso Michael Coleman, which drew him to that style of music and playing. He later formed a duo with guitarist\u002Fsinger Bob Johnson, and the two spent the late '60s working together, until 1970 when Knight joined Steeleye Span in the wake of the breakup of their original lineup.
