Magnus Karlsoon
Magnus leaves King Laoghaire
Tuesday March 4, 2003
Fiddle player Magnus Karlsoon is set to leave King Laoghaire on the 5th of April. He is venturing into another semi-profession as a moonlight farmer and can no longer find time to go on the road with the band.

Magnus joined the group in 2000 after fiddler Berne Strömberg left to become a "full time" father. He's been mainly playing fiddle, but has also handled the button accordion as well as doing some singing.

On April 5 he will be making his last performance at the spelmansstämma at Torp skola, Ödeborg. Thank you for this time, Magnus, and may the road rise up to meet you!
