We’re all very excited about the upcoming gigs as theyare going to be very special and unique performances for us that are unlikelyever to be repeated. In the second half of the evening we’ll be performing afull Magenta set featuring songs from Revolutions to Chameleon. However we'llbe opening the evening with some very special performances from the Magentafamily.

The evening kicks off with a set of songs from Rob Reed'sfirst prog project Cyan.

“I’d written some of these songs when I was still inschool and eventually got to release them under the Cyan umbrella some twentyyears ago, but never got to play them live” explains Rob. “To finally get toperform them after all these years is going to be a very special experience forme and also for the select group of fans who have been with me since the earlydays".

Chris Fry adds “Cyan is where the Magenta story startedfor me back in the late nineties when Rob asked me to play on his ‘The CreepingVine’ album. To finally get to play some of these songs live is going to be abig thrill for me."

After the Cyan set there will be some songs from Rob’s ChimpanA album.

“If you haven’t heard the ChimpanA album, you’re reallymissing out on something special. We never got to play the album live, so toperform some tracks for you is going to be very exciting to say the least”,says Rob.

Next will see several songs played from Christina’s "Broken Lives and Bleeding Hearts"album.

“These two gigs are going to be very special to mebecause it's a rare chance for me to perform some of my solo album. Performingit in front of our home crowd at both Porth and for the CRS will make it extraspecial.” says Christina.

“These are great songs," says Rob "and they’llbe a pleasure and a relief to play amongst all the prog madness.”

Following a short break Chris Fry will mark the releaseof his long-awaited debut album  "Composed", with a set of songsfrom the album alongside his brother Dan.

“As many of you will be aware, my solo album has been along time coming, but I hope you’ll agree it has been worth the wait. It's beengreat to record the album alongside Dan and then to get to play it with him isgoing to be a huge thrill."

To mark the release of "Composed", Chris willbe available at both gigs to sign copies of the album.
