Anchor Lane

Make sure you don't miss the inaugural rock night at The Vault Arts Centre, Newton Stewart, this Saturday 5th October featuring Glasgow band, the outstanding, Anchor Lane with support from The Dynamite Kings. Doors from 7:00pm and, due to a monumental cock-up, it's BYOB so a cheap night too! Boss!

We are delighted to have two excellent bands playing at the first night of many nights to come! The night will be professionally recorded by Graham Gebs Gebbie, who is well respected in the rock and metal community of Britain for recording live events. #heavierthanmetal will provide the music between acts.

Autumn Trad Festival 2025 update

Despite best efforts to promote this year's Autumn Trad Festival - an event that champions young people in traditional music and which was due to celebrate its 5th annual event this year - a lack of funding and poor ticket sales may see the event cancelled.
