The event began with a Ceilidh night on Friday with music provided by folk band, Housewives Choice.
On Saturday a dance workshop was held in Bolford Street Hall, with instruction from Kerry Fletcher and talented musicians Ravi Sawney and Daniel Wolverson.
In the evening a concert was performed by the talented young band, Mawkin: Causley.
