The gig will be at the Robin 2, Mount Pleasant, Bilston, Nr Wolverhampton on Monday December 10th where all profits will be forwarded to The Gorin family. There will also be a memorabilia auction with many ‘unique and collectible items’ up for grabs including full size prints of Rodney Mathew’s Magnum artwork signed by Rodney and all of the band. Along with many other desirable lots from various famous artists.

A new Chapter & Verse

Welcome to the latest incarnation of my website about the band Magnum. What originally started back in the mid 90s as a website is now going to become a blog. My original intent was to find other fans of the band since they are relatively unknown in the US. After that my plans were to have a full discography, history, news, et cetera but so many other fans have set up similar sites there is no use in duplicating effort. Also since I run the Magnum Fans group at Yahoo it is easy to get all the info I need there. But I know some people visit my original site so this will be the best way for me to keep the news updated and make my life easier. So keep the nite light burning!
