THE MAGNETS
Imagine......dancing to the best band you’ve heard in ages. On stage are six sharp-suited men with infectious tunes, slick moves and a tight rhythm section. There are no instruments, no backing tracks, and yet the music goes on. Then you realise. All of this amazing sound is being made with voices alone. You have imagined The Magnets. The Magnets are Britain’s most exciting vocal group since the 1960s. Career highights include tours with Tom Jones, Lisa Stansfield, and Michael Ball, appearances on TV shows such as Parkinson & BBC Proms in the Park and concerts at venues such as the Royal Albert Hall and the Queen’s Jubilee at Buckingham Palace.
