This amazing acoustic group of the 70's will be performing at Fogeys on 24th September.
Magna Carta is one of the longest running acoustic acts in the world, founded by North Yorkshireman Chris Simpson in 1969. Tom Hoy joined the group in the mid-70’s. They have toured 64 countries, recorded 30 albums and sold 8,000,000 albums world-wide. It was the albums Seasons’ and the magnificent classic ‘Lord of the Ages’, (regarded by many in South Africa as up there with ‘Dark side of the Moon’ and ‘Sergeant Pepper’) and the evergreen single ‘Airport Song’ that put them on the world map.
On this South African tour Chris Simpson and Tom Hoy will take the audience on a musical journey beyond compare. To see them live is never to forget them as they, seemingly effortlessly, play across a whole range of emotions. You will hear influences that may well have you thinking ‘oh, they sound like…’ But you would be wrong.
Nobody in the world sounds like Magna Carta. Don’t miss these two legendary acoustic stars!
