Live Music
Mad Dog McRea featuring The Jimmy Hillbillies
Mad Dog Mcrea blend a unique mixture of folk rock, pop, gypsy jazz, bluegrass and ‘shake
your ass’ music. From self-penned songs of adventure, drinking, love and life, to traditional
songs of gypsies, fairies, legless pirates and black flies – Mad Dog never fail to capture their
audience with their infectious songs. In constant demand and having played just about every
festival and two-bit, jibe-arsed dive in Christendom, Mad Dog Mcrea are, in every sense of the
word, a live, band.
Matched with the unshakable dedication of their massive and “loyal-to-the-hilt", fan base – Mad
Dog Mcrea are more than just a very popular act – with five albums under their belts,
they are serious and acclaimed recording artists too. December 2019 saw Mad Dog Mcrea
release a 5-track EP titled 'It's a Sign'.
The famous purple happy bus is fired up and ready for action, and there’s room for you – jump
aboard!
Supported by The Jimmy Hillbillies. With four voices, 16 strings, a solid back-line, a pair of accordions and a didgeridoo, The Jimmy Hillbillies put a rustic shine on some seriously fun, stompingly great hoedown music. Dorset's happiest band has its roots in the country, old-time folk and cowpunk of the Dorset music scene. They will transport you to a happy, care-free place where its good to sing, dance, stomp and even chicken-conga along to their break-neck tunes.
