Trad Music Trust and everyone at The Vault Arts Centre would like to wish all the customers, performers, crew, staff and volunteers that we've had the pleasure of meeting and working with last year, a fantastic 2023. Here's to another year of exciting live music, art and entertainment in Galloway!
Cup O' Joe performing at SpringGrass in 2022
There's a huge amount to look forward to this year already including Gavin & Ruth Marwick, Rachel Walker & Aaron Jones, Juliette Lemoine, The Andy Taylor Group, Flook, Good Guy Hank, The Ciaran Ryan Band, HEISK, The Fountaineers and lots more still to be announced! The annual festivals will be bigger and better than ever this year, and there'll be an even busier programme of events throughout the year at The Vault Arts Centre which has proven to be such a fantastic venue and community facility.
Without audiences there wouldn't be events so we'd like to say a particular thank you to everyone that's supported the projects by attending the many events and activities at The Vault Arts Centre, SpringGrass Bluegrass Festival, Newton Stewart & Minnigaff Traditional Music Festival, Blues Weekend and Autumn Trad. Your support, enthusiasm and enjoyment is what keeps us going and is what makes the events so special. Thank you so much.
Following another outstanding performance last year, the fantastic ASTORIA are back for not one, but two, brilliant Christmas shows! The shows take place on Saturday 13th and Tuesday 23rd December 2025 and EARLY BOOKING is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Tickets on sale now.
