Our week of Magpies begins as Holly from The Magpies brings Painted Sky to The Wight Bear.

Recently emerging onto the UK Folk scene, but have already made a lasting impression with their progressive acoustic sound.

They seamlessly blend tunes from further airfield too, from the complex rhythms of Eastern Europe to the stomping fiddle tunes of Quebec, to create a distinct and borderless synthesis of contemporary folk.
