Subject: RE: Folklore: Dumfries & Galloway: Traditional song
The Jones family of Newton Stewart have been keeping the music alive in the town for many years. Some years ago, the RBS bank in the town closed and the building is now thriving as THE VAULT ART CENTRE, run by the Jones family.
   Lots of rock music, but also regular tune sessions, bluegrass as well as fiddle lessons etc.
   Starting last month, there is also an unamplified singing session there, on the first Sunday from 2-5 pm- ie tomorrow is the next one- with a break for chat & maybe a tune or two.
   A friendly venue, with local ales on hand- all welcome!
