Mark Thomas : Gaffa Tapes

Mark Thomas : Gaffa Tapes

Jokes, rants, politics, play and the occasional sing song.


If you don’t know what he does ask your parents.


In his time he has won awards (current total is now officially ‘f**kloads’), forced a politician to resign, changed laws on tax and protest, become Guinness Book of Records world record holder for number of protests in 24 hours, taken the police to court 3 times and won, walked the length of the Israeli Wall in the West Bank and generally mucked about trying to have fun and fuck the right people off.


This show is more of the above.



“You’ll leave recommitted to the fight against this appalling authoritarian government, to keep that tradition alive.” Guardian 2021

Kiddies Keilidh

Kiddies Keilidh

Tatterdemalion play folk tunes which were being used in Dorset in the 19th Century, now brought to the modern day with verve and energy. The Big Dorset Ceilidh is a great way to work meet up with friends again after the busy festive period.


This year there is an early evening 'Kiddies' Keilidh' for young families to enjoy an hour of dances more suited to shorter legs. Then later, the bar will be open to quench the thirst of the grown-ups who stay or come for the evening. A treat for those who enjoy the simpler things in life, such as fine company, good music, and energetic dancing!
