Hoping for a brighter year in 2021 (C) Dabhand's Blog

It has been a tough year for the arts but it's nothing compared to those suffering from, or affected by, this terrible illness and our hearts go out, this Hogmanay, to those people and to those that work tirelessly to protect us, and provide for us. We are all dearly hoping for a happier New Year.

On behalf of everyone at Trad Music Trust, Newton Stewart & Minnigaff Traditional Music & Dance Festival and The Vault Arts Centre, we hope you have as good a New Year as you can and that, like us, you are very much looking forward to when we can mix and socialise, in safety, to enjoy music, laughs and love again.

Please stay safe this Winter and we look forward to seeing you soon.
