Introduction -
The Thieving Magpies are putting their own spin on classic rock, rhythm and blues from down the decades and a whole lot of jamming in the spur of the moment. The band was formed in 2016 when founder Paul Harrison, the former acoustic roots outfit Room Full of Mirrors front man felt compelled to return to the blues rock roots of his youth and the rest, as they say, is history...
Our set list currently includes our takes on the Rolling Stones, The Beatles, plenty of Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, Cream/Eric Clapton. Bill Withers, Bob Dylan, snippets of the Prodigy... and plenty of bluesy standards including “Rolling and Tumbling” and “Sweet Home Chicago.”
Thieving Magpies Band are: Paul Harrison(Lead Vocal/Guitarist), Jake Dakin (Drummer), Robbie Jay Coplen (Bass) and Alan Whitmore (Keys) So there you have it, we are so grateful to everyone for your amazing support. If you haven’t heard us play we hope this collection of photos and memories will inspire you to come and see us play hopefully somewhere not too far away. See you there!!

Blues Rock Review from Reddit.com The Thieving Magpies from Cumbria are putting their own spin and brand on known rock, rhythm and blues songs. Their powerful and raw performances bring a very different and varied interpretation on numbers they choose to cover as they showcase their musicianship and talent together with a pretty stunning stage presence for just a well known regional band. The natural sound they make is extremely impressive and gets people moving. With sweeping solos and melody lines filling listeners’ ears with a classic sound. This then being combined with a really tight back line.
The set list does provide a contrast to the rock and funky beat with some more mellow moments and even dare we say it a sense of emotional performance which again is unusual for a local band of this type. There is a wide variation in the arrangement and chemistry of the band stripping right back at times to just a bass line and drums or even just a piano and guitar line... This provides a touch to the performance paired by some high quality solos provided by all the band members. This contrasts with the infectious reggae/funk tracks which compel those attending to join in the dance with growling vocals and crashing drums and catchy ad-libs. This contrast truly highlights the dynamism that the Magpies can pack into one night’s show. The Thieving Magpies capture the very best of what an outstanding gig should putting on a real show that definitely leaves you wanting for more!
