Mad Dog Mcrea returns to Dorchester this week with its unique blend of folk rock, pop, gypsy, jazz and bluegrass music.

Returning in style with support from Samantics, the band will be at Dorchester Corn Exchange on Friday, December 10.

A spokesman for the event said: "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, 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, festival act - with five albums under their belts, they are serious and acclaimed recording artists too."

Tickets cost £16.50 or £14.50 for members of Dorchester Arts, under 18s and those on low incomes and are available from Dorchester Arts box office on 01305 266926, at dorchesterarts.org.uk or in person at the Corn Exchange, open 10am to 4pm on weekdays.
