There will be tune and song sessions aplenty this weekend at the 2nd annual Autumn Trad Festival, which starts this Friday 21st October. Musicians are welcome at venues throughout Newton Stewart, with sessions at The Vault Arts Centre kicking off from 1pm on Friday and Saturday, and 3pm on Sunday.
Fantastic tune sessions at The Vault Arts Centre
One of the best things about the traditional music events hosted at The Vault Arts Centre are the number of fantastic musicians who arrive, throughout the weekend, to join the sessions both before and after the concert events. The sessions are very welcoming, for all ages and abilities, so please bring your instruments and voices and we'll see you across the room at some point!Following a cancellation this weekend, we've brought forward the Bluegrass Night, originally scheduled for Friday 2nd January, to this coming Friday 19th December 2025 from 7pm. Join local and visiting musicians for an evening of bluegrass/Americana/old-time music. Free entry!
