Two weeks and counting...
The Scotsman newspaper named the Darvel Music Festival as one of the top five "must see" events this year so why not come along?
We have some great concerts including; a (rare) full band performance from Hue and Cry plus exclusive Scottish gigs by the Willy Clay Band, Richmond Fontaine and the Bluetones.
Darvel will stage the final concert of Phil Cunningham and Aly Bain's 20th anniversary tour.
Capercaillie, Hazey Janes, Session A9 and our good friends the Endrick Brothers will be returning to the festival.
Peter Cox of Go West will join the Hamish Stuart Band on stage this year and Guy Barker will accompany the Ian Shaw trio.
We would like to welcome, Crash My Model Car, Roddy Hart, Dean Owens, Redlands Palomino Company, Joe Whyte, Michael Weston King, the Island Tapes, Vivien Scotson, Kieran Docherty, Darkwater, Lights out by Nine, Fortunate Sons, the Earl Brothers, Hunger Mountain Boys, Hedrons, the Headlines, Tony O'Malley, Angus Lyon and Ruaridh Campbell to our "wee" festival.
And not forgetting our excellent Roll 'n' Jam concert featuring some of the best rock and blues musicians from the West of Scotland.
The festival won't return until 2009 at the earliest as Sheila and Neil will be taking a well deserved break after four years of hard graft.
So come along, it might be your last chance to enjoy the "Darvel Experience"!!
Also, please help our funds by buying the new 32 page colour festival programme which is on sale now (see our news section for details) and take advantage of some the great ticket deals we have on offer for certain concerts.
Thanks - Sheila and Neil McKenna

Music Festival - Hailed Great Success!
Darvel Music Festival was hailed an outstanding success by local Councillors who welcomed Culture Minister Linda Fabiani MSP to the final event in the Irvine Valley town on Sunday.
This years festival sponsored by East Ayrshire Council, Awards for All, Event Scotland, European Rural Development Fund, Scottish Arts Council, Youth Music Initiative and private sponsor Tarmac included ten amazing concerts performed by top international and regional bands and artists. With eclectic styles of music including rock. Jazz, blues, pop, traditional, soul, folk, bluegrass and alternative country there was something to satisfy everyones tastes.
The festival spanned a two week period, playing host to headline acts such as Capercaillie, Tony O Malley, The Bluetones and the Hedrons, along with many more fantastic performers.
Local Councillor Bobby McDill, who has been a dedicated follower of the festival and attended all ten performances of the musical marathon this year enthused; "This festival really puts Darvel on the map. The Darvel Improvement Group really deserve praise for all their hard work in firmly putting this event on Scotlands musical calendar."
" There really was music for everyone from established acts such as Hue and Cry and Phil Cunningham and Ally Bain, which were both sell outs, to up and
coming acts such as Crash My Model Car and Session A9 who really had the audience on their feet. It was a great event for our community".
Local Councillor Alan Brown also added; "This was the first time I have attended the Darvel festival, though I ll definitely be back next year. I hadnt realised just how many visitors it brought to the area. This is a great boost to local businesses and the Irvine Valley community."
Council Leader Douglas Reid attended a number of the performances;
"It was great to welcome the Culture Minister Linda Fabiani to the Darvel Music Festival. Now in its sixth year, it has gone from strength to strength, and the Council will seek to find ways of continuing to support such successful events".
Provost Stephanie Young, was delighted to attend the concert on Saturday 29th September said: "It was really great to have been at the Music Festival in Darvel. This Festival has gained recognition internationally within the last couple of years. It is seen as one of the major music festivals with visitors coming from near and far. The atmosphere was terrific and it was obvious that everybody, young and old, enjoyed the event which is all down to the amazing efforts of Neil and Sheila McKenna who put in so much work to make this event the success that it has become."
