Kirkcudbright Book Festival will bring the 2026 event to a close in style. Its closing Party will mark the final event in of more than 20, on Sunday March 8 at 7.00pm: in Kirkcudbright Pipe Band Hall in Daar Road’
You are invited to join musicians Susi Briggs and Adam Blake an event which will be very different from the book-based discussions that have gone before over the four days of the festival, so kick back your shoes, let your hair down, and have a good time.
Susi grew up surrounded by a family who were natural storytellers and they inspired the melody and the love of story that she shares with her audiences today.
Susi has long been an advocate for Scots language literacy and has dedicated most of her career to encouraging children to enjoy reading, writing and performing in Scots.
Adam Blake is a guitarist and singer-songwriter who moved to Scotland in 2019, escaping London after 57 years. He played with Errol Linton’s band for 26 years, played sitar and guitar for Cornershop in the noughties, played bass for Natacha Atlas in the 90s and ran his own band The Hipshakers before that. Another blues devotee, Adam is also a regular busker in Dumfries and Castle Douglas.
Susi and Adam regularly collaborate together musically in a number of forms: and in particular blues and folk, informed by their passion for storytelling and people having a good time.
Enjoy!
