19 May 08 - 04:51 AM (#2344187) Subject: RE: Dumfries and Galloway From: JulieF Hi Ged/ Fantum There is a flute player that I know that live further into Galloway . Can't remember exactly where - nearer New Galloway I think. I know that he organises sessions. Have been meaning to go up for ages but lack of time and public transport has put me off. If you pm me I will put you in touch. Have fun J |

19 May 08 - 03:13 PM (#2344531) Subject: RE: Dumfries and Galloway From: Maryrrf You might try contacting the guys who run www.tradmusic.com . They are in Galloway, I think, or at least not far from there. They would know what's on. Billy Jones runs the site - I'm sure there is a 'contact' e-mail address. |

The Border Gathering There's music on (not featured on the website yet) represented from USA to Ireland and more) - plus all that highland games type-thing (only in the lowlands!) The Duncan McFarlane Band (a mix of Scottish & English representatives!) will rock out their folk-rock electric stuff for one thing! - as part of a wee mini tour in fact - that week playing Thurs eve in Kirkcudbright, Fri eve in Dumfries and Sun aft at the Border Gathering! More on that later.... Have a look at the website - there may be links to other D & G area events too - cheers! |

19 May 08 - 05:52 PM (#2344663) Subject: RE: Dumfries and Galloway From: JHW I'm pretty sure Dalbeattie club has passed away. Maybe Annan still happens. I never knew when that was on unless I was already there for something else. Sometimes the Lochside Theatre in Castle Douglas has concerts. I enjoyed some September weekends at Crocketford but they are no more. Let me know if you find something! John Wilson |
