Tomorrow sees us usher in the 6th annual Newton Stewart & Minnigaff Traditional Music & Dance Festival and what a line-up we have in store for you. Steph Geremia, Duncan Chisholm, Kitty Macfarlane, Dougie MacLean, Rachel Hair, Benedict Morris, Rose Byers, Ron Jappy. Hup!

We've been snowed under with ticket requests so if you do want to catch one of the concerts, please don't leave it too late.  There should be some tickets available on the door for the Friday and Saturday evening concerts, however Dougie MacLean's concert is now sold out.

We've added a couple of additional events - at Newton Stewart Museum and Crafty Distillery on the Saturday - so please keep an eye on the website for further information about those.

The offiical programme will be available from 11am on Friday 12th July at The Vault Arts Centre, 40 Victoria Street, Newton Stewart, DG8 6BT, or at any of the concert venues, and includes a full itinerary, maps and useful contact numbers.
