Thank you to everyone who has bought tickets for one of our tour gigs in February, we’re really looking forward to getting back out and playing live for you again.
We’ve had many people on asking the pertinent question of what exactly is our “An Evening With The Magpie Arc” show and so for those that haven’t seen us before and are thinking of coming along to one of our gigs here’s what happens…
As we have three award-winning solo artists in the band, each with their own audience, we thought that it would be a really nice and full evening for everybody if we supported ourselves so to speak, and so our show consists of a first set of Nancy Kerr, Martin Simpson and Findlay Napier playing a few solo songs each, then the band joining in for a couple of songs to round that off, then a break and then the band playing a full headline second set.
All in all that’s over two hours of music……..plus the inevitable rubbish banter!
Apologies if this is a bit of a dry message but with the many growing financial pressures on everyone there’s a school of thought that 2024 is going to be a very challenging year for live events and so it’s important for us to make sure that every ticket-buyer knows that they are going to get excellent value for money at one of our gigs.
You can see all our February tour dates at https://themagpiearc.com/live/ as well as our three festival dates, which are the unique Indoor Festival of Folk at Cecil Sharp House in London where we’ll be joined by a stellar cast of some of the UK’s finest folk musicians plus two folk/rock legends, Celtic Connections in Glasgow where we’re supported by Katherine Priddy and the “Love Folk” festival in Southport where we’ll be joined by Frankie Archer.
Hope to see you all out there, and just one final message…..
In support of all the lovely venues we’re playing, if you do intend to come along then it’s very, very helpful to them (and us) if you can buy tickets as early as possible in advance.
TMA xx
