probably too late for your study, Chastings, but do you know that over the past five years there have been traditional music concerts at the tiny, remote Swallow Theatre, near Whithorn, south of Newton Stewart featuring Adam McNaughtan
                  Sheena Wellington
                  Hamish Moore
                  Sheena Wellington
                  Heather Heywood
                  Len Graham and Mick Quinn
                  Louis Killen
                  Johnny Handle & Chris Hendry
                  John Connolly
                  Hughie Jones
                  Sheila Stewart and Jess Smith
                  Margaret Bennett
                  Scott Gardiner, Steve Byrne & Carol Anderson
                  Joe Aitken and Geordie Murison...

to name a few, but for all the useless and happily defunct DGAA did or even knew about it, they might as well have been in China... they got £5000 Leader grant to promote traditional music in the area's pubs, and gave it to a Country Music festival in Creetown- also defunct- what a lot of money-wasting plonkers
