Gatehouse of Fleet Festival Group

Gatehouse of Fleet Festival Group Gatehouse of Fleet Music Group runs independent music and arts festivals based in SW Scotland. Why here? You just can't keep a good thing down! Where is it?

Gatehouse has a festival heritage stretching back decades - we're at least the third incarnation of the festival. About seven years ago a bunch of independent musicians serendipitously happened upon each other and The Masonic Arms in Gatehouse became the hub for a burgeoning musical community. It was too much fun to keep it to ourselves, so we got some of the festival old-guard on board and decide

d to invite the wider world to our wee corner of musical heaven. The festival's events are scattered throughout the town - pubs, car-parks, community centres and schools all join in the fun. If you're a local business and you'd like to get involved, drop us a line and we'll get you in there somehow! Can I play at an event? We'll always consider anyone who expresses an interest in playing the festival - just get in touch, send us a CD or a weblink. We're committed to promoting local musicians as well as bringing in better known acts from further afield, but there aren't really any limits to what we'll consider, so you've nothing to lose by getting in touch. Even if you miss the boat for a concert booking, there are plenty of opportunities to get up and play over the weekend, whether at the nightly pub sessions or at our popular Music Cafe open stage on Saturday afternoon. We look forward to hearing you! What else goes on in Gatehouse of Fleet? As well as being a musical capital to rival London, Memphis and Borgue, Gatehouse plays host to an annual summer Gala Week, the Mill Sessions, the fabulous Bakehouse and a slew of other unmissable stuff.

Good morning, everyone!

What a great day we had yesterday, really hope you managed to catch a few of the acts and enjoyed some terrific music in the sunshine! 🌞🌤️

Unfortunately the forecast is indicating fairly heavy rain and winds before we're scheduled to finish this afternoon in the Ship Garden. Given the lack of shelter for the audience, and the potential mix of electricity and water for the bands, we're going to relocate indoors to the Community Centre on Garden Street.

Our event sponsors The Ship Inn will be running a bar there.

So please join us at 1pm for music from Bruce McKenzie Music and Nathon Jones Music followed by Janice Burns & Jon Doran
Top quality!
