Essentially a “serious” classically-trained composer he nevertheless worked in the 1980s and 90s with a number of “pop” artists including Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Madness. He has been described as “the only musician to have featured on both the BBC Proms and The Old Grey Whistle Test”. Maybe Reed will do somethi… Continue reading →

Posted on May 14, 2017 by alanjones

With the band celebrating fifteen years together and with a fabulous new album to promote, Rob Reed’s Magenta completed their (all too) short Spring tour in front of a suitably appreciative audience at The Citadel in St. Helens – a small, but perfectly formed, venue that tends to “punch above its weight” with the status of acts that perform there. Promoted by the Classic Rock Society, a non-profit making group who do sterling work in prom… Continue reading →
