TICKET holders are promised a “guid night guaranteed” at an indy event in Scotland’s ancient capital next week.
Eight musical acts are to perform at a special event in Dunfermline on Thursday.
Audiences at the Fife date can expect blues, pop, folk and more.
Organised by Yes Dunfermline in conjunction with the SNP in Dunfermline and West Fife, the Independence Rocks! night has been arranged as “a change to relax and enjoy the evening after a particularly hard year”.
2017 has included several periods of intense campaigning, including those for the local government and snap general elections.
A number of by-elections for the Scottish Parliament and councils have also been held across the country.
The Dunfermline date will be introduced by The National columnist Lesley Riddoch and hosted by Stirling singer Ted Christopher.
Other acts set to appear include tribute band Just Beatles, blues and swing band Baby Isaac and local folk singer Amanda Brown, as well as Tulliallan Pipes and Drums.
In a statement, organisers said: “The music will range from Beatles to Burns as well as bagpipes and the chance to blether with friends.”
The event runs from 7pm until midnight at Glen Pavilion in the town’s Pittencrieff Park on October 26.
Tickets, costing £10, are available from the Independence Rocks! page on skiddle.com, with no charge for children under 14.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
