Peter Knight (folk musician)

Born in London, Knight learnt to play the violin and mandolin as a child before going to the Royal Academy of Music from 1960 to 1964.

[1] Knight's classical roots were well hidden until he recorded "A Canon by Telemann" on the album Back In Line, multi-tracking with himself on this tricky baroque piece.

Knight teamed up with Johnson again to record a concept album The King of Elfland's Daughter (1978), based on the novel by Lord Dunsany.

It included one song sung by blues legend Alexis Korner and another by Mary Hopkin.

They consist mainly of traditional English tunes, in varying combinations of solo, duo or band.
