THE COACH HOUSE
The Coach House was one of four venues in Scotland on the shortlist for the Sunday Herald Culture Awards Venue Of The Year 2018, and it’s easy to see why. Great sound; unbeatable atmosphere; a massive wood-burner - what more do you need? Oh aye…music!
The Coach House serves as a concert and session space.
Evening concerts run as follows: 7 - 8 pm and 9 - 10 pm
Following the last live act, The Coach House will become a World Music session space.

Described by Folk Radio UK as ‘weaving an especially compelling magic’, and ‘showing British acoustic music in its best possible light’, Northumbrian duo The Brothers Gillespie make music that is animated by lyrical songwriting, fine fingerstyle guitar playing, multi-instrumental musicianship and ‘the glorious tones of their blood harmony’ (Sam Lee).
Brothers James and Sam found their sound growing up in the fells and valleys of Northumberland, their songs often describing relationships with wild places and the experience of finding oneself in a world alive with soul.
The brothers have travelled far and wide with their music and have played at Cambridge and Sidmouth Folk Festivals and opened for Lankum and Sam Lee.
“Not since the minimal chamber folk of Simon And Garfunkel has two voices and an acoustic guitar sounded so absolutely perfect.” FATEA
