Our sincere thanks to local poet Kevin Pyne for his beautiful poem, which we feel really sums up the harmonious atmosphere of Dartmouth during the Dart Music Festival weekend.
Make for me good music
Down by the sea
In the market and inns
And where the churches be
Play for me a rock song
Pick out and strum
The chords of a gentle lullaby
As I thumb the pages of
My little yellow book
And the boats sail by
The clarity of choirs
The richness of violins
The raunchiness of a saxophone
The inspiration of the piano
Are all so worthy of being
Listened to and indeed loving
And may we all sit gently
As the songs are sung
In a world where there
Is much musical talent and all
Is at peace for every one?

The clarity of choirs
The richness of violins
The raunchiness of a saxophone

Listened to and indeed loving
And may we all sit gently
As the songs are sung
In a world where there
Is much musical talent and all
Is at peace for every one?
