Following the success of our autumnal weekend of music and art in 2022 and 2023, we are thrilled to be returning to Cardney Steading in rural Perthshire for another special three days in Autumn 2025! We had a break from Cardney Steading last year (due to extensive building work happening there) and went 'online only' from the Old Schoolhouse for Shades of Amber 2024. This kept our Musical Team and Global Family happy but it will be so good to be back at Cardney!

 

We loved the whole setting, the fabulous concerts and sessions, the food, the exhibition and the whole feeling of special musical friends getting together with a totally enthusiastic audience for a great weekend! One of the elements of Perthshire Amber that we were thrilled to re-introduce in 2023, was the Open Mic .... so we are glad that our 2025 Saturday afternoon will see a return of that special feature! Another element, that only a select audience got to enjoy, was the Firepit Music ...a wonderfullly atmospheric music session that we will expand on in 2025.

So ...  there will be a series of concerts during the weekend  in the beautiful new venue (yet to be named) where Dougie will be joined by musical friends from over the years,  the Open Mic in the Rustic Cattle Shed, as well as informal music sessions in the Old Mill, and around the Firepit! Once again, apart from concert and open Mic start times, there's no script or tight schedule and we want to keep this as informal and spontaneous as possible ... and see where the music takes us!  

We also hope to combine this with a smaller exhibition of Jenny's watercolours and weavings in various spaces,  along with a cosy corner for The Big Knit (our fundraising initiative for the Cyrenians charity) should make for a truly great weekend!
