After some, predictable really, technical difficulties we were very happy to be able to bring you an e-version of this year's Newton Stewart & Minnigaff Traditional Music & Dance Festival. A huge thanks to everyone who took part and please remember that you can donate until 10th August 2020.
We're raising funds for next year's Newton Stewart & Minnigaff Traditional Music & Dance Festival and the on-going work that Trad Music Trust does to encourage, develop, support and promote traditional music & dance learning, composition and performance in Dumfries & Galloway.
Huge congratulation to our colleagues and friends at the wonderful The Vault Arts Centre in Newton Stewart for reaching the finals, yet again, of the Scottish Entertainment & Hospitality Awards in the Best Events Venue category.
