We’ve gone corporate…got into bed with big business…sold out to “The Man” etc. etc.

Actually, all we’ve done is just put Glamour In The Grey and The First Three EPs CD’s up on that Amazon thing after repeated requests from people who are probably looking to offload gift vouchers!

So, you can buy our Top 10 UK Chart album Glamour In the Grey on CD by clicking here 

And you can buy The First Three EPs three disc compilation on CD by clicking here 

Purchases will still be sent out by our distributors though, so if you buy through Amazon you’re still supporting us directly, and delivery is by 1st class post with next day dispatch, so let’s call it “The Magpie Arc Nearly Prime”.

And do leave a review why don’t you? Although anything less than four stars may prompt “a visit” from “security”.

You can also continue to buy from us on CD, vinyl and digital download in our preferred way (ie. we make slightly more money) via themagpiearc.com/shop

And we are off to play Costa del Folk on Ibiza next Friday so if you are going then do come and say hello. The line-up is fantastic and it’s going to be a hoot!

Maybe see you there.

Today is another Bandcamp Friday which is the day that our digital distributor Bandcamp waive all their revenue for artists that use the platform, so it’s an especially good day for us to download our 3 EP’s or latest album Glamour In The Grey.

We also have a single available of our version of the beautiful Robert Burns song Ae Fond Kiss with the great singer Adam Holmes, and it’s available as a “pay what you want” download with absolutely ALL our proceeds going to the RSPB.

Paying nothing and just telling your friends about it would be great, as would paying a £1 or whatever at all you can manage. The last time we did this we raised over £260 so lets do it again for the birds and help us Magpies help THE magpies.

You can find it at https://themagpiearc.bandcamp.com/

Welcome all new subscribers to our mailing list!

You can download these and integrate them into your preferred streaming service such as Spotify, Apple etc. or you can play it from the online player without downloading at all. Click on the link below and scroll over each song for the download icon or just play it using the orange arrow.

Hope you enjoy them everyone, and have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone,

A new Facebook group has been set up for British Folk/Rock and it would be wonderful if those that use Facebook could join, contribute and spread the folk/rock word?

It’s a place to share your stories, memories and photos of Folk/Rock over the last fifty years and party like it’s 1967 all over again!

(For those that can remember that far back of course)

Here’s the link – https://www.facebook.com/groups/731533741838423

See you there!

It’s absolutely Baltic out there and snow is falling everywhere, except that is on the beautiful Isle of Arran where our Findlay Napier is likely wearing shorts and inventing cocktails in advance of our trip to the Costa del Folk festival on Ibiza in April.

As David Coverdale of Whitesnake would holler “here’s a song for ya!” so indeed here is a wonderfully dark and chilly video for our version of the fantastic Mike Waterson song Jack Frost to suit these wintry times.

Hope you enjoy it everyone, and if you’ve still to buy a copy of our top 10 chart album Glamour In The Grey then do check it out and/or sign up to our mailing list at themagpiearc.com

A huge thanks to everyone who has kept the “chart party” going in January by buying our latest album Glamour In The Grey. It’s up 8 places and back in to the top 10 of the Official UK Folk Chart.

We’re a super-chuffed “supergroup” (BBC Radio 2’s words, not ours!)

If you’ve still to buy it then check out preview song All I Planted at themagpiearc.com where you can see all the UK and International CD, 12″ vinyl and download buying options.

And our first three EP’s are now only available as CD, 10″ vinyl and download multi-packs so if you’re still to complete our music collection you can order them all together at themagpiearc.com/shop

Also, can International buyers please note that the UK Royal Mail is still in chaos following a cyber attack which has suspended all overseas deliveries for the month and they are only now getting round to clearing the huge backlog. We’re so sorry for the delay but all existing orders will be with you just as soon as is humanly possible.

Thank you so much for your patience!

Finally, it’s gig week so anyone around Gateshead (near Newcastle) and Cambridge we’d love to see you at one of those venues on Friday and Saturday. Details and ticket links at themagpiearc.com/live

Whoah, thank you everyone! A quick post on Wednesday about our version of Rabbie Burns’s song Ae Fond Kiss being available as a pay what you want download for charity and bang, £250 for the RSPB and the birds.

We’ll keep it running indefinitely so head over to https://themagpiearc.bandcamp.com/track/ae-fond-kiss-single and check it out. Pay something or pay nothing, it’s up to you, but either way if you can at least share this round on your social media and let’s see what happens.
