            MAGPIE with

  Friday, June 30
8:00 PM 
  Terry and Greg are internationally known for their musical work in the environmental movement. Throughout their career, they have devoted a tremendous amount of their time, energy, and music to environmental causes. They are considered to be among the very best in this field of music and their performances are in great demand by environmental action and education organizations. Their musical work has supported the work of such notable groups as National Audubon Society, National Wildlife Federation, the National Wildlife Refuge System, the National Park Service, and Hudson River Sloop Clearwater. Earth Day 1998 found them performing at Harpers Ferry National Park where their well-known anthem, "We Belong to the Earth" was a perfect finale to a speech by President Clinton. They have been featured presenters for statewide environmental education associations around the country.
  Terry and Greg have been heard on many recordings, including 8 of their own, 2 with Kim & Reggie Harris, and several compilations. Their first, Magpie & Friends, and their third, If It Ain't Love, showcase their broad range of styles and themes. Their second album, Working My Life Away, is an excellent collection of songs about working people and their work. Their fourth and fifth albums, Living Planet and Circle of Life are both theme albums on the subject of the Earth. Circle of Life is Magpie's first album for children and has been greeted with great acclaim by children, parents, and educators, and such environmental notables as the National Audubon Society. A portion of the proceeds from both of these albums is donated to environmental action groups. The Smithsonian, when it released its monumental collection, Folk Song America: A Twentieth Century Revival in 1991, included Magpie's rendition of "Sacco's Letter to His Son" from If It Ain't Love among selections by 99
 of the most eminent folk music artists of our time. Terry and Greg's sixth album, Seed on the Prairie, is a showcase for their songwriting. It is full of songs which tell stories of love, loss, and rebirth, and songs of Mother Earth.
  In the spring of 1999, Magpie's 9th recording, a celebration of their 25th anniversary entitled Give Light was released on Sliced Bread Records. The CD features songs old and new, written by friends and heroes and by Magpie themselves. There are love songs, songs of struggle, songs of the Earth, and songs of the spiritual journey. Magpie's most recent recording is entitled Sword of the Spirit and features 11 songs including 7 originals, all about famed abolitionist John Brown, his family, friends, and associates. The CD, also on Sliced Bread, was produced as a companion piece to Greg and Terry's one-act play of the same title based on the life and letters of Brown and his wife Mary. The premier performance of play, featuring Greg as Brown and Terry in the role of Mary Brown, took place February 18, 19, and 20, 2000 at the Old Opera House in Charles Town, West Virginia, across the street from the old courthouse where John Brown was tried and convicted in 1859.

  Wendy Stewart has played the Scottish harp since the age of twelve, learning from one of ScotlandÕs finest teachers, Jean Campbell, in Edinburgh. Over the many years since, Wendy has established herself as one of ScotlandÕs foremost traditional harp players and as a highly skilled musician of great sensitivity and feeling. As part of the revival of interest in the instrument in the 70s, Wendy competed in many Mods and musical festivals and developed her performing skills through regular Clarsach Society events in Edinburgh and appearances at the Festival Fringe. In 1977 Wendy appeared on Clarsach pioneer Alison KinnairdÕs groundbreaking album ÔThe Harp KeyÕ. After living in Lancaster for some years Wendy and husband Alan, with their two lovely boys, moved to Edinburgh in 1990 and she was immediately recruited into the ranks of the well-established Scottish band Ceolbeg. Major tours, radio and television work and four Ceolbeg CDs (all on Greentrax) followed. 
  During this time her teaching horizons also expanded, and she is now in great demand as a teacher at harp courses in Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland and North America, not to mention around Scotland. Wendy left Ceolbeg in 2000 and has since been concentrating on solo work and her many teaching commitments, including tutoring on the BA degree course in Scottish Music at the RSAMD in Glasgow.
