Welcome to our newest addition to our new website – the latest news page. As there are 26 days to go to the festival, we thought we’d do an A-Z (we might live to regret that decision). But before we go for letter A - first of all, we’d like to draw your attention to the information page and ask you to have a read . We know things will be a little different this year; you might have heard that one of our principal venues, the Craigdarroch Arms Hotel, is currently closed, so we have arranged for other venues to host live music, workshops and session spaces. This year’s music spaces will be the George; the Masonic Hall (opposite the George), the Institute and the church. Don’t worry about session spaces – there will be session spaces and when we get to ‘S’ we’ll tell you all about it.
