A seasonal treat from the excellent Magpie Lane, the five-piece folk band from Oxford, specialising in traditional English songs and dance tunes. The band has been delighting audiences for over 30 years - and through 10 critically-acclaimed albums - with a combination of powerful vocals and vigorous dance tunes, performing inventive arrangements on acoustic instruments.Ian Giles - vocals, percussion
Andy Turner - vocals, anglo-concertina, one-row melodeon
Mat Green - fiddle, vocals
Sophie Thurman - vocals, cello
Jon Fletcher - vocals, bouzouki, guitar
The band’s front man, Ian Giles, is blessed with one of the finest voices on the folk scene: warm and mellow, but with great power when required. With four lead vocalists the quality of the singing – whether individually or in harmony – is never in doubt. This vocal strength is matched by the band’s instrumental prowess, accompaniments being sensitive or rollicking as each song demands. And when it comes to playing dance tunes, the front line of Mat Green and Andy Turner on fiddle and concertina has few peers. Jon Fletcher and Sophie Thurman complete the line-up, with gorgeously-played guitar, bouzouki and cello.
You are assured of a good night out
