'Mad Dog Duo' is Michael Mathieson from Mad Dog Mcrea and fiddle player Olivia Dunn from the Phil Beer Band. Together they blend a unique mixture of folk-rock, gipsy jazz 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.

“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 (BBC Radio 2)

“A sound mixed, mashed and finely honed through years of live gigs” - Rock ‘n Reel Magazine

UK alt-folk duo Jacob & Drinkwater have been called “stand out new folk” by BBC 6Music and “inventive and thrilling” by R2 Magazine.

Tobias Jacob's sweeping vocals never fail to captivate, delivering many a spine-tingling moment; the fluidity and precision of his finger-picking underpinned by Lukas Drinkwater's nimbly rhythmic double bass; at times sweetly soaring, haunting, percussive and driving, the layers of depth a perfect counterfoil.
