Tholtans are supporting Hayseed Dixie for one night only at the Gaiety Theatre, Douglas on Monday 31st May as part of the madness that is TT fortnight.

Will post up more details when we have them!

If you haven’t heard the Tholtan Builders, then imagine Hayseed Dixie but Manx!

If you haven’t heard Hayseed Dixie, then imagine The Tholtan Builders but from the USA!
