With Romeo Stodart, lead singer of The Magic Numbers, already confirmed to play a set with folk songstress Kathryn Williams, we’re pleased to announce that the whole band will now also be joining him at the festival for a sizzling Saturday night set on the Cabaret Stage.
If Martians wanted to collect the sound of summer in a jam jar and take it back to Mars, the world could do no better than sending them off with an album or two of The Magic Numbers. Possibly the happiest band on earth, the magic lads and lasses were shortlisted for the 2005 Mercury Prize showing they didn’t just induce smiles from the audiences alone but also from the high-brow musical critics. The band, brothers and sisters Romeo and Michele Stodart, and Sean and Angela Gannon, have released two studio albums and a mini album since their meteoric rise to fame in early 2005. They’re currently building a studio before working on songs for their third album, due next year.
Expect to hear fan favourites ‘Forever Lost’, ‘Love Me Like You’ and ‘Love’s a Game’, which have rocketed festival crowds into euphoria the world over.
