The Magpie Arc is a cross-border band from Sheﬃeld, Edinburgh and Arran and features award-winning musicians Nancy Kerr, Findlay Napier, Tom Wright, Alex Hunter and tour guitarist, BBC Folk Award-winning Sam Carter.
Formed to blend their songwriting 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 festival stages and headline tours throughout the UK. Mark Radcliﬀe described them on BBC Radio 2 as “Folk Rock with Led Zeppelin vibes” and Spiral Earth magazine noted “You owe it to yourself to catch this band as soon as you can. Capability, ﬂair and originality rarely come so well wrapped.”
So expect excellent songs, lush harmonies, scything electric guitars, gorgeous ﬁddle lines and rock solid bass and drums in a night of classic UK folk rock as The Magpie Arc return to the Cast, the scene of their first ever gig in 2022.
