New band photos
Check out our new Photo Gallery which has some excellent photos taken recently on location in Magpie Lane, and in the crypt at Oxford Castle.

Magpie Lane now a 5-piece
From Christmas 2008 we have been operating as a five-piece band, as Marguerite is taking a bit of a sabbatical. For a variety of reasons, Marguerite has found it difficult to commit fully to the band over the last year or so and decided it was best to take a break. Not least among these reasons was the fact that she has a young child, and that it takes her at least an hour and a half to drive to rehearsals, while the rest of us all live within easy striking distance of each other in Oxfordshire. We shall miss Marguerite's vocal and instrumental contributions, and wish her well.
