Magna Carta was never one of my favourite acts - a bit too soft and polished , but still good and worth hearing!
The band was originally formed in London in 10 May 1969 by Chris Simpson (guitar, vocals, Harmonica), Lyell Tranter (guitar, vocals) and Glen Stuart (vocals).
Magna Carta are renowned for their gentle ballad style and mythical subject matter. Although never purely a folk band, they managed to successfully bridge the gap between folk and folk rock. The trio released albums for Fontana Records and Vertigo Records, enjoying particular success with 1970s Seasons before Tranter returned to Australia.
Chris is still active and performing.
