Hello all and how are we doing? I have great pleasure in announcing that we have been confirmed for a great festival this year. It is the progSfest 2004 festival that is to be held at The Olympiad Leisure Centre in Chippenham, Wiltshire UK. This will be a great couple of days for all you music lovers out there. This is how the 2 days pan out.

30th October 2004 - Saturday - Afternoon - prognosis and The Tangent - Evening - Pineapple Thief and IQ

31st October 2004 - Sunday - Afternoon - The progS and Galahad - Evening- Magenta and The Ray Wilson Band.

Ticket prices and actual time slots along with the official web site for the event will be released shortly and you will be the first to find out. It is going to be a great week-end so book as soon as you can.

Talking of gigs, we have 2 coming up this month and they will be the first where we introduce a bunch of new songs. We have been busy finalising the set and it is sounding great. The new and old material really work well together and we can't wait to play it for you guys and gals. Tickets for Cardiff and Rotherham are selling well so get them while you can as these promise to be some exciting shows. If you go to the "Tour" section of this site and click on the respective web sites for the shows, you can buy the tickets direct. We look forward to seeing you all there for some music, fun, drink and chat.

We will be putting up a section on this site soon with some Launch Party pictures within the next week or two. These will be of us and the great people who attended. We have had so many thank-you letters and I have replied to them all, but I would like to say thanks again to everyone who turned up for making it such a special event. We will also be adding a new links section in the coming months entitled "Affiliated Sites" which will contain links to sites related to members of Magenta. Finally allot of you are talking about the album and the single and it is great to see you are enjoying it so much. They are flying through the door and long may that continue. See you at the gigs this month and keep rocking.

Cheers,

Rob Reed.
