The Magpie Arc

Gloucester

Dates: 30/10/2025

Venue: Gloucester Guildhall

Formed out of an idea to bring together a group of musicians and friends who would mix and match their influences, song writing styles and musicianship in an electric band setting, whilst giving a passing nod to the golden age of 60’s and 70’s British folk/rock.
With all members being strong writers the focus is naturally on new material, however they also tackle some great cover songs plus their own re-workings of traditional songs. There’s folk, rock and in the 2025 line-up some elements of prog-rock but whatever the genre the band are their own musical mix of everything you could expect from such a line-up, with excellent songs, lush harmonies, scything electric guitars, gorgeous fiddle lines and rock solid bass and drums.
“The possibilities The Magpie Arc offer are very enticing indeed. You owe it to yourself to catch this band as soon as you can. Capability, flair, and originality rarely come so well wrapped.”
(Spiral Earth)

“Everyone in the band brings their own talents but the synergy makes them much more than the sum of their parts. It takes "folk-rock" to a new and exciting level.” (Fatea Magazine)

“The UK Folk/Rock Supergroup with Led Zeppelin vibes”. (Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2)
