CROWDFUNDER
About

Welcome to the official website for Magnet!

For years there’d been talk of reforming Magnet to perform Wicker Man material ‘live’ but the loss of Paul Giovanni made that a dream – until the fortuitous meeting of critically acclaimed British folk artist Matt Deighton and the original film’s MD, and Magnet founder member Gary Carpenter, over an erroneous eBay listing for a Nordic Lyre.

The result is Ballad, an album that sits musically and spiritually adjacent to the mythical soundtrack of the original movie. If Magnet had made their next album in 1974, perhaps this is akin to what they might have recorded.

Welcome to your place for all things Magnet… Welcome to the family!

Now, has anyone seen Rowan Morrison?
