MUSIC FESTIVAL Will it be the best yet?
year! so what are the headline grab- bers and who are going to be the best bands to seek out as you make your way through the unbelievably varied programme? Well, for headliners they surely

don’t come any bigger than the inimi- table Ruby Turner – who, I have it on good authority, made grown men cry at her last appearance at the DMF. she appears on the bandstand on the sunday in the ‘fast becoming legendary’ slot of 5pm-7pm. As if that weren’t enough excitement for sunday Ms Turner will be followed by the frenetic sounds of Mad Dog McRae, longtime favourites of DMF crowds and a truly fitting way to close the festival.
Other definite highlights will be
RSVP Bhangra getting even the most dour Dartmouthian up dancing. As if that weren’t enough to get the blood pumping why not check out Drum Crazy, a fabulous workshop for all budding drummers to be held in the Flavel on saturday afternoon. Last festival, I missed what was

This includes acoustic 4 piece Kola and beautiful solo balladeer Nuala Honan. I suspect the line up at the fort will keep quite a few people glued to their seats for hours at a time. Now, do you know who Stephen
Warbeck is? I must confess that I didn’t but now he is definitely in my ‘not to be missed’ category.
