Fortune although no longer singing with the group still writes original songs for them. The group formed while at University College London together in a production of ''Guys and Dolls''. They signed to EMI and released their debut album, ''Giving It All That'', in 2001. The following few years saw them tour with Lisa Stansfield, Michael Ball, Tom Jones and Geri Halliwell, with appearances on ''The Michael Parkinson Show'', ''Blue Peter'' and ''GMTV''. In 2004, the group released ''Another Place'', which featured nine original songs and two covers, including a rendition of Stephen Stills' "For What It's Worth". Their next album, ''Gobsmacked'', featured songs such as "Girls & Boys" originally by Blur (band), and "Sweet Dreams" by Beyoncé, as well as live favourites such as "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga and "Livin' on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi. The band has performed in five years of the last eight at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The Magnets undertook a European tour in November and December 2010. June 2011 performed in Adelaide Australia as part of the Adelaide Cabaret Festival. Following this, they toured Melbourne, Sydney and Noosa. On 12 January 2014 the group will play their first U.S. date in New York City. 〔http://themagnets.com/tour/〕 ==Discography== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Magnets」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
