Fortune of War Basildon25th May 20022nd Nov 2002Band leader and front man Pete Welland is fast gaining recognition as one of the finest harmonica players and vocalists in the country, with a style and tone instantly recognisable as his own.He is a prolific song writer and lyricist, penning eight out of the twelve tracks on their award winning debut album "Take your Pick". Dave Simms (drums) and Simon Reid (bass) propel the band with the requisite unobtrusive yet dynamic rhythmic touch. There is also some T-Bone Walker inspired guitar slinging from Dave Beaumont, who stands out from the crowd. Steve Moore is recognised as being one of the best rhythm guitarists in the business. His vintage style and tone have become an integral part of the Magnitones unique musical style.Blueprint
