Magenta’s pre-Christmas performances at Acapela Studios near Cardiff over the last few years have become the stuff of legend. Completely unique, semi-acoustic performances rehearsed (and occasionally improvised!) especially for these performances, this finds the band at its most relaxed and unpredictable.

As well as unique, semi acoustic performances of Magenta classics from across the band’s catalogue, there are also tracks from: Christina solo, Chris Fry solo, plus Rob Reed’s Sanctuary and Kompendium projects.

For fans throughout the world who were unable to see the band at these concerts, it’s Magenta like you’ve never seen and heard them before.

The shows begin with a selection of solo tracks, followed by a full Magenta set in the second half. The concerts also feature a variety of special guests, including:

2016: Peter Jones (Tiger Moth Tales – vocals, guitar, recorder, whistle, sax) Steff Rhys Williams, Fran Murphy (vocals)

2017: Angharad Brinn (vocals), Nigel Hopkins (piano)

Both years: Karla Powell (oboe), Claudine Cassidy (cello)

Plus the band: Christina Booth (vocals), Rob Reed (piano, vocals), Chris Fry (guitars, vocals), Dan Nelson (bass) , Jiffy Griffiths (drums 2017) and Steve Roberts (drums 2016)
