We are proud to announce that this legendary acoustic rock group will make their second Ripley appearance on January 25th. 2020

Magna Carta have played in 78 countries and have sold 9 million records including 6 Gold and 3 Silver Albums.

Following the resounding success of their performance at The Great British Folk Festival 2016, UK, Netherlands and Spain tour dates, Magna Carta are celebrating the continuing success of their new album ‘The Fields of Eden’.

Former Steeleye Span and Albion Band member KEN NICOL will be lending his not inconsiderate talents to MAGNA CARTA for their live shows. Guitarist Ken left Steeleye in 2002 after four albums and having toured the world with the band. Central to Magna Carta has always been songwriter/poet/singer/ acoustic guitarist CHRIS SIMPSON, whom MOJO writer Fred Dellar once described as ”the English Paul Simon”.

The band has played in 78 countries, including performances at the Royal Albert Hall and Montreux Festival (with Santana and Cat Stevens). The bands’ ‘Seasons’ (one of three albums featuring later ELTON JOHN guitarist, DAVEY JOHNSTONE) and ‘Lord of the Ages’ albums (released on the iconic Vertigo label) sold in their millions, with total Magna Carta worldwide sales in excess of 9,000,000. Another track from ‘Seasons’ -‘Airport Song’ - has had almost 50,000 hits on just one YouTube link. ‘Seasons’ itself has had in excess of 80,000 hits.

“’Lord of the Ages’ is arguably one of the greatest albums of its kind ever made.” (Rick Wakeman) ‘The Fields Of Eden’ has 16 (and counting) 4 and 5 star reviews and Record Retailer called the release “one of the finest 'folk' albums in many years. 5*****.”
