Findlay Napier after 2 nominations in previous years finally won Singer of the Year in 2025 at the Alba Scots Trad Music Awards. A stalwart of The Magpie Arc (which also features Martin Simpson) his recent album The Outsider has received rave reviews. A rare opportunity to see this stellar Scots artist solo in the area.

James J. Turner left his native Liverpool toured the US with rock bands but in recent years has returned from his travels to showcase his singer/songwriter talents with music that straddles the border of folk-rock and straight up traditional folk. A favourite of Andy Kershaw and the late great John Peel. Influenced by Bert Jansch, Pentangle, Martin Carthy and Bardic traditions, his 5 solo albums capture a powerful voice and charismatic presence.
