'Magellan Circumnavigation' is a musical story of love divided by the greatest voyage of human exploration the world has seen. It follows a sailor on the voyage and his wife at home, mirroring the lives of Ferdinand and Beatriz Magellan. A story of mutinies, battles, storms, shipwreck, love and loss performed by Bob Whitley (Vocals, guitars and mandola) and Lee MacKenzie (Vocals and cello).
Jon's Dad, Bob Whitley, began writing a folk musical called ‘Magellan: Circumnavigation – we sail to prove the earth is round’ and completed it ready to perform as the 500th year anniversary of Magellan's voyage began in 2019.
As the 500th year anniversary this intrepid adventure came to an end in September 2022, Dad and Lee gave one final performance of the show at the stunning St James’ church in Poole.
Originally broadcast as a 'Ninebarrow Presents' online concert, the audio has now been remastered for this special live album!
