The Spinners
The Spinners
Lancashire, GBr&b, rock
4.3bn all-time streams (13 Jan '26)
No, these Spinners are not Philippe Wynne and company out of Philadelphia, but a Liverpool-based folk quartet formed by Mick Groves, Hugh Jones, Cliff Hall, and Tony Davis in the basement of a restaurant during the early '60s.
Playing acoustic guitars and tin whistle, they specialized in traditional folk and folk revival material, and fit in perfectly with the spirit of the times -- when folk music was all the rage on college campuses and in cabaret.
