Ok so we feel like we might be to blame here for jinxing this....but sadly the call has been made to postpone Ruffdog Elliott playing at The Borough Gardens, Dorchester, Dorset tomorrow. Watch this space for a new date once the weather sorts itself out, no one wants a soggy picnic.

The summer holidays are now upon us and from experience we know it can be a challenge to keep children entertained. Grinning Dog Records can help, we offer a variety of packages for a Popstar Party held at Echotown Studio. Pop us an email at [email protected] for more information or to book and we promise not to judge if you sit in the rec room with a hot drink and book while the kids sing their heart out in the live room.
