I hesitate to describe The Magnets as an a cappella band, because I am still not entirely convinced there was not a full band on stage. However, they assure you that every sound you hear comes from some part of their body. With exquisite harmonies and an electric atmosphere, they perform an impressive set using nothing but their voices. Filled with energetic choreography, The Magnets present a show with all the charm of a boy band but with twice the talent.The setlist is eclectic, including numbers from Bon Jovi to Florence and the Machine. The Magnets have the incredible ability to take an overly familiar song and breathe new life into it. Their rendition of Adele’s ‘Rolling In the Deep’ made me fall back in love with the song and the fantastic beatboxing in the middle is second to none. Dynamic doesn’t even begin to describe this show. The movement is highly effective and precise and everything complements the songs, and even the lighting adds to the performance. The six members each get an opportunity to shine and each rises to the occasion superbly as their personalities bubble through. Veteran fans greeted their mega medley and A-Z of movie theme songs with much enthusiasm. It was hard to find people not jumping up from their seats.With their infectious charm and range of songs, The Magnets showcase their impressive array of talents brilliantly. Though it is slightly annoying when members of the audience behind you sing along, it is impossible to fault their enthusiasm. The atmosphere emanating from the stage throughout the performance is impossible to resist.
