Best Of The Borders

Best of the Borders will be held mid-summer 2019 and will celebrate our region, its talent, business
(8)

For a breathtaking three days in September the historic town of Galashiels in the heart of the Scottish Borders plays host to a spectacular music and entertainment festival. The festival pops up from nowhere to transform the town and its streets into a lively open venue, giving locals, and visitors from all over, a chance to mingle and enjoy the music and performance of the various artists. Everyw

here is the venue and everybody’s welcome to the party. The Borders have long been closely associated with a number of characteristic features that are as unique as the Region itself and from now on we hope that this music festival will become an annual event, offering visitors a great opportunity to visit the Scottish Borders.

Thanks Mark Nicol from Discover Scottish Borders with Mark Nicol for making this video with Dougie Gala Walking Man for Christmas lights appeal. It was a bit of a giggle on the day but what a fantastic job you've done it really shows the beauty of the Borders and how remote this walk will be.

AIDAN MOFFAT & RM HUBBERT / FRI 19 OCT / 7.30pm
With support Siobhan Wilson

“The album title has a dual meaning - s*x and death.” These are common themes from Aidan Moffat; since his early days with Arab Strap, he has explored these subjects with a grace and grit that plunges deep into the human soul. But this is no re-hash of the past, rather a further leap forward for Moffat, now teaming up with fellow Scot, singer, and guitarist extraordinaire, RM Hubbert, for this new project.

Please Share Scottish Borders Council have stopped me from using banners to advertise concerts and events. This would be the month my banners would really work reminding people to get their tickets.
Their decision could put me out of business and this is the local authority that say they want to encourage events to attract tourists to our region.
Number 1 in 7 countries, she had the longest number 1 in the Australian charts. Constantly touring in countries all round the globe Sandi Thom is one of Scotland's best exports.
Catch her in the Scottish Borders on Friday the 25th of May in the Victoria Hall Selkirk.

Our Story

Best of the Borders will be a festival to celebrate our region, its talent, businesses and beautiful surroundings. The festival will start in late spring early summer 2018 with four heats to find the most promising music talent in the Scottish Borders. The best three acts from each heat will play at the main event an open air festival hopefully in the Scott Park Galashiels. The musicians will be competing for a prize for the best act that will be a weekends with hotel accommodation at top recording studio Gorbals Sound. (www.gorbalssound.co.uk ) The winning act will also win the Best of the Borders Festival for their town the following year. There will also be an under 24 category hopefully linked to the Borders Youth Music Forum (Sound Cycle) www.soundcycle.org The prize for the best act under 24 will be a recording session in the Pro Audio studios in Hawick. www.soundwavesproaudio.co.uk The idea behind this is to create five new events in the Scottish Borders. The Best of the Borders Festival and will showcase all that’s good about the Scottish Borders. It’s beauty, music, arts, crafts, businesses, tourist attractions, food, drink and most of its people. Who’ll decide what musicians will represent their towns in the final for the chance to win the festival the following year. You will….the family, friends and people of that town….you will get the chance to vote for your favourite two musical acts.

Dates for heats and final to be released soon.
