Spike Island is the old name for Sholing, a district of Southampton.
The Spike Island Band was formed there in 1982, in those days consisting of just piano accordion, recorder, and banjo. Since then we have built up our reputation across the south of England as a lively, interesting, and talented band.
The irony is this: all the founder members have moved on - now the band no longer has any connection with Spike Island (except that we like the name!)

Some bright spark fitted a four-foot handle to the knife!
