I was first attracted to the
Magnets after seeing the ‘International Men of Mystery’ an
acappella group from Oxford who were performing at C venues.
I have since heard them perform on various occasions along
the Royal Mile and managed to get a ticket.
Magnet,
a body that attracts by virtue of a force produced by the motion
of its atomic electrons and the alignment of its atoms.
The
Magnets, six bodies that exude irresistible attraction by
virtue of the melodies produced by its joint voice’s and moving
alignments of their bodies.
‘Band on the Break’ is
the story of the bands development from busking on the streets,
through ‘Boy Band’ school, via Geri Halliwell, Tony Blair, Tom
Jones and the Royal Albert Hall. The mixed and varied type of music produced by the human
voice alone amazes most of the audience. The way the show is put
together with little video links to allow them a breath between
numbers adds a little extra humour.
The Magnets are Nic Doodson,
James Fortune, Andy Frost, Colin Griffiths Brown, Steve Trowell
and Michael Welton. With looks to appeal to almost every possible
audience member they seem to have the full package.
It is really unfair to pick
any one member out for mention but Andy ‘Lips’ Frost’s drum
solo, must be seen to be believed, he is truly amazing.
I have seen several special
shows and this one is truly fantastic.

They
have a continuing ambition in that they want to be number
