Well done everyone.

Too soon…?🫣
Gig In The Grounds 2026!!
Where do we start with this year’s festival?
Well, we all started with a well-earned rest!
Once again, Gig In The Grounds has been a great success, and it’s all thanks to our organisers, volunteers, funders, supporters, acts, and especially everyone who came along to enjoy another memorable weekend.
Firstly, to our organisers and volunteers. This amazing group of people are the real talent behind Gig In The Grounds. Whether they’re out front or behind the scenes, they are, without doubt, the most important part of our festival. Their enthusiasm, hard work, and passion helped keep everything running smoothly throughout the weekend.
To all of our acts, bands, and musicians: once again, our wee part of the world has been blown away by the incredibly high standard of performances this year. We were thoroughly entertained all weekend. We sincerely hope you enjoyed playing as much as we enjoyed listening to your music. Helping you sound great on stage couldn't have been done without our hardworking sound team. A special thanks goes to Dale Adair, Kenny Kerr, and Ben Reffin, who do so much more than simply keep the acts sounding great.
To everyone who came along, thank you. It’s your enjoyment that drives us to bring you the best festival we possibly can. Watching you dance, sing along, make new friends, and have a great time makes it all worthwhile for us.
To our funders and supporters, thank you for your generosity, encouragement, and belief in what we do. Your investment in our festival goes far beyond financial support; it helps bring people together, creates opportunities for artists and musicians to showcase their talents, and allows us to deliver an event that benefits our community. We are incredibly grateful for your commitment and support, and our festival simply would not have been possible without you.
