Get Folked in Autumn 2023

Mad Dog Mcrea return to Shrewsbury with their blend of 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.

The Endings play Celtic folk/rock in the style of Dropkick Murphys & The Pogues.

Back from an exhilarating and triumphant tour of UK festivals, Mobius Loop are heading out to the UK’s best grassroots music venues to bring their mesmerising festival vibrations indoors, launching their newest album DANCE WHILE YOU CAN!

Man The Lifeboats began life in a shanty-punk folk moshpit in 2016. Skinny Lister and Holy Moly & the Crackers were the two bands that ignited the fire, lit the spark, and blew the roof of the Garage that night. Proof that live music can indeed be life-changing.

Fast forward 6 years, several line-ups, 80 gigs and counting, an EP, a live album and a studio album later, and Man The Lifeboats are an established band ploughing their folky furrow on the festival circuit, winning over audiences and drawing comparisons to Bellowhead, Waterboys, Oysterband, the Levellers, and of course, those folk-punk heroes the Pogues.
