Nithraid returns for 2014 - bigger and better than ever!
For those of you who made it down to the Whitesands last September, you may remember our fabulous scratch Samba band which paraded it's way around the town and down the river to welcome the boats.
This year, we welcome Ruth Morris and Gavin Marwick, who will be writing new music especially for Nithraid!
Would you like to be involved? We are looking for young people (16-25 ish) who would like to be part of a Balkan style street carnival band that will form the core of a procession group leading the town down to welcome the boats on the Whitesands.
We would particularly like some brass, woodwind, accordion and percussion players, but all instruments are welcome. Intermediate level and above, capable of learning a short piece of music, by ear or from music, and playing whilst walking.
Nithraid this year takes place on the 13th of September. There will be several rehearsal dates in the run up to Nithraid taking place in Dumfries at a venue to be confirmed.
Interested?? Send us a quick email to info@thestove.org with your contact details and we'll be in touch! Full details on the Stove blog here
