⭐️⭐️⭐️ WOW!! WHAT A NIGHT! ⭐️⭐️
The final Festival Fringe performance was a WINNER! We were treated to a very special evening of music from the sensational Stacey Joy and Friends. As well as Stacey’s beautiful singing, we were treated to the incredible voice of local lad Lachlan Sloss ( You saw him here first, folks! ⭐️) and the joyful Merlin Boys (joint winners of this years Wigtown’s Got Talent’ show). The hall looked great with a relaxed cabaret atmosphere thanks to the new round tables bought with the generous grant from Wigtown Community Shop.
