An Evening With The Magpie Arc

"The Magpie Arc is a cross-border band featuring acclaimed musicians Nancy Kerr, Findlay Napier, Tom Wright, Alex Hunter, and UK folk legend Martin Simpson on electric guitar. Formed to blend their song-writing and musicianship into a fresh take on the British folk/rock sound of the '60s and '70s, the band quickly gained recognition for its unique mix of folk, rock, country, and prog-rock elements.

Their debut album, Glamour In The Grey (2022), spent 12 months on the UK Official Folk Chart, debuting at number 9 and Mojo magazine compared it to Fairport Convention's ground-breaking 1969 release, calling it "Liege and Lief-affirming" with "an elemental racket." The band has made waves on UK festival stages and in headline tours and this "Evening with...." show features solo slots from Martin, Nancy and Findlay plus a full band set.

Expect excellent songs, lush harmonies, scything electric guitars, gorgeous fiddle lines and rock solid bass and drums.

"Folk Rock with Led Zeppelin vibes." - Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2
