Worth mentioning that Jo Miller has just this month released an album called “A’ the way to Galloway”, which you can find on her Bandcamp site: www.jomiller.bandcamp.com
It can be bought for £7 as a digital download, or as a physical CD for £12. She has several excellent musicians backing her.
She was also guest at the recent Girvan Folk Festival where she sang with Robyn Stapleton, who is also from that SW corner of Scotland, and at the annual FifeSing last month, where she appeared along with her son, another great singer and musician.

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!
