Mad Dog Mcrea - Dusk Till Dawn Tour

 Get ready—Mad Dog Mcrea are back at The Plough Arts Centre, and they’re bringing the party with them.

Blending folk rock, pop, gypsy jazz, and bluegrass with their unmistakable “shake-your-ass” energy, Mad Dog Mcrea deliver a sound that’s as wild as it is irresistible. Their songs—packed with tales of adventure, mischief, love, and late nights—sit alongside colourful traditional stories of gypsies, fairies, pirates, and more. The result? A live show that’s impossible to stand still through.

Festival favourites and road-hardened performers, they’ve played everywhere from major stages to the grittiest backroom dives—and built a fiercely loyal following along the way. With five acclaimed albums and releases like their EP It’s a Sign, they’re not just a great live band—they’re a serious musical force.

Now the legendary purple happy bus is revved up and rolling again—and there’s a seat with your name on it. Jump aboard.

  • “It’s always a joy to me when something jumps up and smacks you between the eyes – Mad Dog Mcrea did that to me” - Mike Harding
  • “A sound mixed, mashed and finely honed through years of live gigs” – Rock ‘n Reel Magazine
  • “This is rowdy, heartfelt, room shaking and spirit-stirring music that only the dead can’t enjoy.” - ltdstate.com
