Magpie Lane perform traditional English music and song. They combine powerful vocals 
with vigorous dance tunes - inventive arrangements on acoustic instruments.

Magpie Lane appear regularly at top national Festivals - including Sidmouth, Towersey, 
Fylde and Chippenham - and have recorded six CDs on the Beautiful Jo label.

 

"Magpie Lane have turned their hands to many different themed projects down the years and are every bit as listenable here as ever. They are equally effective singing in permutations from solo to full ensemble and (a big plus in my book) make good use of a cello in their arrangements."
Nick Beale, fRoots  

"this Oxfordshire sextet represents the very best in the English country dance and song tradition"
Sing Out

"they do sterling work dusting off England's traditional songs and tunes"
Verity Sharp, BBC Radio3
