Rothbury music festival (Northumberland) is very popular with traditional musicians from north of the border.The festival is devoted to traditional pipes and folk music events which include ceilidhs, dancing, competitions, children's events, singarounds and more.
The Rothbury festival is based very much on the Newcastleton Festival and retains a great use of local talent and traditional music. Rothbury is a village (approx. 1,700 population) steeped in tradition and retains an unspoilt atmosphere and through the support of local councils, organisations, and people the festival has become well established in a friendly setting in which to enjoy music of the Borders and beyond. The festival attracts musicians, singers, dancers, poets and audiences from a wide area, who enjoy the simplicity of the festival.. It's success is very much due the easiness of the local people, performers, helpers, audiences, hotels, B & B's, all helping to make the visitors feel part of the community for the weekend.
