Our Big House event is moving to the Ayrshire Coast in 2026, with a date booked for 6-8 February. We’ve secured exclusive use of a hotel and will release more details and tickets shortly.
There’ll be a great line up of artists, for performances, workshops, open mic and group sing and strum sessions. This event has been on the go since February 2015 - so it’s well loved and well established.
To get a one-off email when the lineup and tickets are available, please complete your details below.
From the 16th of June, for one week, my building is being re-wired. While this occurs there will be regular periods where I am without power. This will affect both my internet and phone system and is likely to result in some communication delays. I will answer when I can, both the phone and e-mail, but there may be delays as I will be working using my phone as a mobile hotspot while the power is off.
I will still be working and dispatching orders (my set up process doesn’t require any power tools - apart from my fully charged battery drill!)
I am sorry for any inconvenience this causes.
