Our Take

The year was 1971, and amidst the chaos of bell-bottoms and flower power, a musical revolution was brewing at the Royal Albert Hall. MAGNA CARTA teamed up with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra for a live performance that would go down in history.

From the moment the orchestra's strings started to soar, it was clear that this was no ordinary gig. MAGNA CARTA's folk-rock sound was elevated to new heights by the majestic backing of the RPO, creating a fusion of genres that was both unexpected and mesmerising.

Tracks like "Time For The Leaving" and "Airport Song" showcased the band's melodic prowess, with each member shining in their own unique way. The symphonic elements added a grandeur to the already timeless songs, transporting the audience to another era.

Lead vocalist Chris Simpson's voice soared effortlessly over the lush orchestral arrangements, his haunting lyrics weaving tales of love, loss, and everything in between. The chemistry between the band and the RPO was palpable, with each note building to a crescendo that left the crowd in awe.

Overall, MAGNA CARTA / RPO Live At The Royal Albert Hall is a must-listen for any music lover, a timeless masterpiece that captures a moment in musical history. So grab your nearest pair of flares, pour yourself a glass of something stronger than orange juice, and let yourself be swept away by the magic of MAGNA CARTA.
