The Magpie Arc is a cross-border band out of Sheffield, Arran and Edinburgh and features the multi-award-winning talents of Nancy Kerr, Findlay Napier, Tom Wright, Alex Hunter and UK folk legend Martin Simpson (on the electric guitar…..Judas!).

Formed from the idea of bringing together a group of established folk musicians who would mix their song-writing styles and musicianship in a full-on electric band to create exciting new music and update the classic 60’s and 70’s British folk/rock sound, the possibilities of The Magpie Arc being something special and unique on today’s folk scene became obvious very quickly.
