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.

Their recent acclaimed album “The Whirling Dervish” … , as championed by Mike Harding on Radio 2 has become an underground classic winning the best album of the year 2012 at The South West Music Awards. The band were sent out on their SECOND major UK tour of 2012 in November to spread the Mad Dog word further still, by the end of 2012 they will have clocked up well over 100 shows!

“This is rowdy, heartfelt, room shaking and spirit-stirring music that only the dead can’t enjoy.” - ltdstate.com

“Musical magicians Mad Dog Mcrea are synonymous not only with a damn good party but also quality musicianship and the odd surprise” – Talk Torbay

    Mad Dog are brilliant! I have engineered for them on a number of occasions and it's always been a blast! Much more fun being in the crowd though. Their gigs are always packed and very lively! I Would definitely recommend them to anyone to go and see live. They play at a club called the Hippo regularly- check it out! Bringing in NYE in with the “The Bear Necessities”. never gets boring.
