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!
