Mad Dog McCrea Live
plus Irish Food – Market Square -
Friday, 23 October – 8.00pm-11.00pm
Drink, stink and be merry!
Mad Dog McCrea are a Celtic Folk
Rock-band with numerous musical
influences including, wait for it,
Irish Folk, Punk, Rock, Irish and
Scottish traditional, Eastern European,
Disney, Country and Bluegrass. Fronted
by singer/guitarist, Michael Mathieson,
they originally formed in 1995 as street
buskers but metamorphosed into a gigging
band. To quote their My Space page
“With their increasingly lively,
spontaneous and uniquely orchestrated
performances, the band are acclaimed,
not only for their music but for the off
stage chaos and antics that seems to
surround them...”. And they’re always a
big hit at the Music Festival. As with
last year’s hugely popular Sausage,
Cider and Folk Night, this event is
jointly hosted by Dartmouth Food
Festival and
Dart Music Festival. If all that
isn’t enough there will also be an Irish
Supper and a bar.
Tickets £12:50 per
person, available from the
Tourist Information Office
in Dartmouth.
Big Cream Tea
–
The Flavel Main Hall - Friday, 23
October, 1:00pm – 4:30pm
According to
www.teaandcake.co.uk,
a traditional
English tea party should be held indoors
(tick), in the drawing room (well, The
Flavel is just as good), offer English
breakfast tea amongst others (tick),
cucumber sandwiches cut into triangles
with the crusts cut off (maybe), cakes
(tick), scones with clotted cream and
jam (tick), shortbread (tick), lovely
big tea pots (tick), matching cups and
saucers (eek – half a tick), a milk jug
(tick, back on track), sugar cubes
(tick), cake stand and doilies (tick)
and napkins (tick). Well, that's
settled then – we're having a lovely big
tea party and you're all
invited. More tea, vicar? In addition
to the opportunity for a nice sit down
with one of Devon’s greatest culinary
inventions (the Cream Tea I mean), you
can also browse stalls selling tea,
cakes, cream, and watch a scone making
demonstration.
