TV and radio presenter Mark Kermode will be thumping the double bass with his band The Dodge Brothers at the Thomas Tripp, Lymington, on Wednesday, August 12.

Joined by Mike and Alex Hammond and Aly Hirji, the quartet is set to play a raucous set of skiffle, folk, country and rockabilly.

This appearance should be the perfect warm-up for The Dodge Brothers’ slot at the Fairport’s Cropredy Convention, which takes place in Banbury on Saturday. Also playing at the festival is TV comedian Adrian Edmondson and his band The Bad Shepherds.

See The Magazine in this Saturday’s Daily Echo for a full interview with Mark.
