THE MAGPIES
Saturday 1st November
£16.50
Transatlantic folk band The Magpies are quickly becoming one of the most exciting acts on the UK roots scene. Combining sublime harmonies with exquisite musicianship and songwriting, Bella Gaffney (banjo, vocals), Holly Brandon (fiddle, vocals) and Ellie Gowers (guitar, vocals) effortlessly meld Anglo and American traditions. Their music has over a million streams on Spotify and their latest album – Undertow – has been exceptionally well received with a place in the Official Folk Chart Top 40 and a live session on BBC Radio 2. The trio have toured extensively, with UK festival highlights including Glastonbury, Cambridge and Shambala and internationally in USA, Canada and Europe. 2025 will see them tour the UK and Canada, alongside the release of an EP in the Autumn.
‘One of those effervescent albums you’d be happy to recommend to people who might not consider themselves folk fans’ The Sunday Times
‘Check that album out! Really good mix of songs and instrumentals – they’re great players!’ Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2
