Live Concert 28th March Update

17 Mar 20
by Nathon Jones
Aaaron & Nathon Jones

Just a wee update to say that Aaron and I will not now be performing together tomorrow night but will, instead, be broadcasting to you separately from our own living rooms. As a result, we have rescheduled for an 8:30pm start once all the little ones are safely tucked up in bed! Don't miss it!

Our original plan was to perform together at The Vault Arts Centre however, considering the seriousness of the current situation and how important it is for us all to keep our distance to help slow the spread of this virus, we didn't feel that this was a very responsible thing to do.

We'll be kicking things off at 8:30pm, live from Newton Stewart featuring Nathon & Rhona Jones and then switching to a live performance direct from Creetown, featuring Aaron Jones.

Workshops at this year's festival

With so many outstanding musicians in Newton Stewart this weekend it would be foolish not to take full advantage, and we've done just that with a superb programme of traditional music workshops which are included as part of the Weekend Pass ticket, £10 per adult or £Free for under 25s.

Highland dancing competition unable to go ahead this year

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the postponement of this year's Highland dancing competition at Newton Stewart & Minnigaff Traditional Music & Dance Festival. Continued funding cuts have meant some very difficult decisions have had to be made, however we do hope to bring this back in 2025.
