Yep its that time of year again! Newcastleton Traditional Music Festival is upon us. Newcastleton or Copshawholm as it is known locally is situated in the Scottish Borders about 15 miles from Carlisle and 20 miles from Hawick.

Since July 1970 the good folk of the Holm have welcomed us into their village and enjoyed our playing of tunes and singing of songs.

It has a very simple format. Two dances, Two singarounds, competitions on the Saturday a winners concert on the Saturday night. Sessions in the pubs

We would love to see as many of you who would wish to visit us on the weekend of the 3, 4 and 5 July 2009.
