Magpie Lane will be playing a May Eve concert in Oxford next Sunday afternoon:
Sunday 30th April – Holywell May Eve concert
Holywell Music Room, Holywell Street, Oxford OX1 3BN
2.30 – 4.30
Promoted in association with www.maymorning.co.uk
Tickets from https://www.ticketsoxford.com/whats-on/all-shows/welcome-the-may/4734
or ring Tim Healey on 01865 249194
There’ll be a lot of Magpie Lane Maytime favourites, including Dave Webber’s May Song, the Swalcliffe May Day Carol, Martin Graebe’s Jack-in-the-Green, and tunes such as The First of May, Jack’s Alive and Round about the Maypole. When the band first started we always used to do concerts at Maytime, and are very pleased that Tim Healey has given us the opportunity to revive the tradition.
In other news, we’re about to send off a series of 0s and 1s, and in return, in a few weeks’ time, we’ll be receiving 40 boxes of shiny silver discs – yes, the long-awaited new album, Three Quarter Time is very nearly here.
You can sample some tracks from the new record at https://soundcloud.com/magpielane/sets/three-quarter-time – I hope you like them.
I will of course let you know as soon as we have copies of the CD, and how you can get hold of one. Or, indeed, several.
