Newcastleton Traditional Music Festival

Starting in 1970, Newcastleton Traditional Music Festival is one of the longest continually running festivals in Scotland, aptly named 'The Friendly Festival'.

3. (Part 2) Obviously we can't have the sessions and the dances, but a big part of our wee festival is the competitions! Find the details in the attached images. Each competition is split between 'open' and 'under 16s'.

2. This was a hard decision for many reasons and so we were determined to find some other way of celebrating our 51st year!

And that's exactly what we've done - we've gone online!

1. You've waited patiently and here it is- The 51st Newcastleton Traditional Music Festival: Virtually Holm 2020!

Due to a nasty virus that you've probably heard a thing or two about, we had to make the difficult decision to cancel this year's festival.
