About The Event
One of the UK’s finest exponents of melodic rock music, Magnum achieved high album and singles chart positions and gained a reputation as one of the UK most captivating live bands.
While the sad passing of the band’s co-founder and songwriter Tony Clarkin in 2024 brought an end to Magnum’s lengthy career, aficionados of this much-loved band can continue to enjoy their acclaimed catalogue of music, performed by core musicians from the band’s classic periods.
Long standing Magnum keyboard player Mark Stanway (1980-2016) is joined in Kingdom of Madness by fellow Magnum members Micky Barker (drums, 1985-95) and Richard Bailey (keyboards/flute/guitar, 1975-80), as well as Mo Birch (vocals/percussion, Magnum live and studio appearances). For their 2024/25 shows, they are joined by bassist Brian Badhams, vocalist Chris Dando, and guitarist Alan Bell.
“Tony Clarkin was one of the finest songwriters ever”, says Mark Stanway, keyboard player with Magnum for 36 years. “The best way to pay respect to Tony’s legacy and to “keep the night light burning” is to ensure that his songs continue to be heard.
The MAGNUM LEGACY 2024/25 tour will dig deep into the Magnum back catalogue with a two-part show:
“We’ve put a lot of time into refreshing our set list for this tour”, says Stanway. “Certain songs we’re playing from the very early days have not been played live in over forty years.”
This union of classic members of one the UK’s most revered melodic rock bands has already been met with the highest acclaim from both music critics and audiences alike: The “spirit” of Magnum lives on in the Kingdom of Madness…
