Tom Wright

Our Song of the Day comes from The Magpie Arc, a new cross-border folk/rock band featuring Nancy Kerr, Martin Simpson, Adam Holmes, Tom A Wright and Alex Hunter. Watch them performing their first release – ‘Autumn Leaves’.

Multi-award winning folk musician Nancy Kerr and her Sweet Visitor Band provide an evening of top entertainment at Ashcroft Arts Centre which included new material that will feature on her next album.

As far as band shake-ups go you don’t get a more striking change than this one. The Albion Band is to get a complete re-boot for 2012 as the torch is passed to a newer generation of English folk talent. Ashley Hutchings will be handing over the reins to his son, Blair Dunlop, who is joined by Gavin Davenport, Tom Wright, Katriona Gilmore and Tim Yates.
