What is the "Play for the Festival Tour"?

Are you a pub, hotel, venue or promoter? Do you need an extremely reasonably priced act, a one-time offer of £150.00, for an event/s you're organising? Do you want to help support traditional music in Wigtownshire and Dumfries & Galloway?

What You Get...

Minimum of Nathon & Billy Jones and 2 other musicians performing acoustically for up to 3 hours for £150.00 or £100.00 for 2 hours or less. All proceeds go directly into the Newton Stewart & Minnigaff Traditional Music Festival bank account.

Not only will you get a great afternoon/evening of entertainment, you'll also sleep sound knowing that you've helped ensure the survival of this fantastic festival and the continued development of traditional music in Wigtownshire.
