It's a tough job...but I do it all for you!

 
I have not long returned from a wee trip down to Celtic Connections in Glasgow – a very agreeable part of my job as Programme Manager here at the Barn.  It’s not all play – part of the trip involves a conference – but having the opportunity to combine the conference with seeing some of the best musicians on the planet is a treat, seeking out new talent to bring to the stage at the Barn just for you!  Not too much of a hardship really but the late nights are a bit of a struggle for one used to being in bed by 10pm most nights....

Bring It On!

At this time of year, the days just don’t get lighter quick enough so we will do our best to inject some sunshine into your lives with our new spring programme – hurrah!  Not long to go until we open our doors to welcome you back, starting with The Kings Speech on February 7th.

So Who Are The Hot Seats Anyway?

 

Like many musicians who grace the stage at Woodend Barn, The Hot Seats are hard to put a label on.  Lots of people have asked me what kind of music they play and I struggle to answer because if I say bluegrass there’s a good chance I will get the response ‘What’s that?’ or, worse, ‘I don’t like bluegrass’.

 

Who Would You Choose?

 Paolo NutiniIt’s a wee game we play quite often in the Barn office. If we could have anybody in the whole wide world in play at the Barn, who would it be?  And how much would you pay to see your favourite person in the intimate setting of the Barn, sharing them with just a couple of hundred other people rather than thousands?
