Magna Carta
**Magna Carta** is a long-running British progressive folk band that's been spinning melodic tales since 1969. Founded by singer-songwriter Chris Simpson alongside Lyell Tranter and Glen Stuart, the group carved out a niche with lush acoustic arrangements, intricate harmonies, and storytelling lyrics inspired by history and nature. Their 1973 album *Lord of the Ages* became a cult classic, blending folk traditions with ambitious, almost orchestral scope.
While lineup changes have been frequent over the decades, Simpson remains the anchor, steering Magna Carta’s warm, pastoral sound through live performances worldwide. Recent remastered releases and concert recordings like *Live at the Royal Albert Hall* and *Live in Bergen* celebrate their enduring legacy, proving their mix of folk charm and prog-rock curiosity still resonates with fans old and new.
