Magnus Turpie is a musician from Edinburgh. He has been hit hard by lockdown, and with the withdrawal of his Day service, has spent 11 of the past 12 months at home and unable to connect with his friends and other musical pals at all, other than by Zoom.
In spite of this difficult period though, Magnus has characteristically striven to keep positive and he has delivered a few ‘lockdown live’ performances over Facebook live.

Up until then, Magnus has been a regular player at ceilidhs, pub sessions and festivals over the years, has participated in many music-making programmes which have helped him to develop his skills, including Tinderbox Collective, Totally Sound, City Music Café, GD JAM (Edinburgh Jazz & Blues festival), Paragon Ensemble, and Drake Music Scotland.
