The refreshingly unconventional and snappily attired boutique orchestra are BACK!! If you missed them last year, here’s your chance to catch them!

Budapest Café Orchestra bring you gypsy and folk-flavoured music in their own fresh and surprising way. From Balkan and Russian traditional pieces to artful distillations of the masterpieces by the great Romantic composers to Gaelic folk anthems their infectious music will get into your veins and stay there forever.

With 13 albums to their name the Budapest Café Orchestra was established in 2009 by British composer and violinist, Christian Garrick, and led by him have won legions of fans with their magical and infectious performances. A small but impeccably formed ensemble of just four players, the BCO combines violin, guitar, accordion, double bass, saz & balalaika to dazzling effect, creating an awesome aural alchemy normally only characteristic of far larger ensembles.

Two of the country’s celebrated international soloists revel at the heart of proceedings.Accordionist exemplar Eddie Hession is a supreme accordion champion of Great Britain. In his illustrious career he has accompanied Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, Jose Carreras and Chris Rea. Christian Garrick is one of the world’s most celebrated jazz violinists. He has played music with Dame Cleo Laine & Sir John Dankworth,

Wynton Marsalis, Nigel Kennedy, Bireli Lagrene, Tim Minchin, Caro Emerald and John Etheridge. One of Russia's most enigmatic musical exports, The Sultan (sic Adrian Zolotuhin) is a master of the strummed strings of domra, balalaika, guitar and saz. Veteran bass-man Kelly Cantlon has been in the business of laying down the low notes for many-a-moon. Kelly first found fame in the as a Vagabond with Northern Soul sensations Jimmy James and the Vagabonds.Evoking vivid images of Tzigane fiddle maestros, Budapest café life and gypsy campfires - plus a few surprises along the way - hugely entertaining, immense skill and profound musicianship, a show by the BCO is enough to make you want to book that holiday down the Danube! "Not so much a band name as a whole genre of its own, Budapest Café Orchestra embraces an encyclopaedia of music and mischief." SCOTSMAN ONLINE:

So just when you thought all the fun of the summer was over! To prepare us for those looming dark nights, Dartmouth Rotary offers a ray of late sunshine. How? By organising another exciting Charity Beer Festival in our town in October. We know how much this event has become a ‘must attend’ occasion in the social calendar of Dartmouth; it’s fun, and it’s friendly. Our aim is to have an exciting range of real ales and craft beers from many different local breweries. And we will have a range of Ciders that are always popular.

But this is this is not only about the beer, (well it is mostly!) so there will be a variety of live musical acts on stage and a superb selection of great food from local independent caterer ‘The Greedy Table’. They will be offering £10 loaded Taco Bowls throughout, served with tortilla chips, salads and sides. Meat or veggie option available, packed full of flavour to compliment your beer, and you can choose your favourite Mexican condiments to personalise to your taste. Wine and soft drinks also available.

All proceeds go to local charities including a contribution to the Flavel, which is such an important asset for Dartmouth.

Lots of local parking available.
