…So our new website www.dartmusicfestival.
co.uk will give you all the information you’ll need and more. To make sure you don’t miss a thing, buy our official programme to take with you wherever you go - great souvenir and really handy to stick in your back pocket so you’ll always know what’s on and where. More importantly, your help ensures that we can do it all again next year – our twentieth anniversary! Programmes on sale from the website by post or download after Easter, or from the Merchandise Tent during the Festival. Anyway, how to start describing the eclectic
mix of ‘Free For All’ music on offer this year? We’re delighted to welcome Judie Tzuke with DMF Foundation recipient Chaz Thorogood, and folk-legends Martin and Eliza Carthy. Blues your thing? There’s a plethora of artists including Jim Crawford, Ben Carr and The Hot Rats, Joe Cribb, Hucklebuck with Ian Briggs… to name but a few. Feeling folky? There’s Harbottle and Jonas, Phil King, Velvet and Stone, Ninebarrow - plus many more. Want to jazz it up a bit? Try Dave Hankin, Louise Parker, Billy Thompson
Harbottle and Jonas Cellophony
Reiko Fujisawa
Gypsy or Gordon Campbell and Martin Dale’s Jazz Night. Then there’s big bands, Bhangra, rock, country, soul/funk, acoustic, sea shanties, workshops and so much more – all the acts are brilliant, so huge apologies that there just isn’t space to mention them all.
On the Classical Scene, highlights include
acclaimed concert pianist Reiko Fujisawa, Orpheus Welsh Male Voice Choir, Bute Clarinet Quartet and the amazing Cellophany – or escape the crowds for an early evening’s beautiful music at St Petrox with Esperanto (sublime classical and flamenco guitar) and The Arioso String Quartet (from Bach to Cole Porter) - enjoying afternoon tea at The Castle Café and interval glass of wine at one of the most beautiful spots in the Southwest! Last but not least, we proudly announce our animal-themed Family Fun Day. There’s face painters, balloon magic, a Paignton Zoo Presenter to answer questions and give away goodies – and you might even spot a rhino! There’s also the Jungle Book film, an animal-focussed workshop with Poco Drom, and a dance, singing and drumming workshop for older children from RSVP Bhangra. All in all we’re certain a good time will be had by all - see you there 13- 15 May!
