Alasdair Roberts live in New Galloway

Experience Alasdair Roberts live on October 10th

Alasdair Roberts will perform at the Catstrand in New Galloway, United Kingdom on October 10, 2026. Roberts is a Scottish musician known for his distinctively fingerpicked guitar style and subtly complex songcraft. His music draws heavily from traditional British folk music – particularly Scottish and English balladry – but incorporates elements of jazz, classical guitar, and contemporary songwriting. Lyrically, his work often explores themes of history, folklore, and personal reflection with a frequently understated delivery. He has released numerous albums to critical acclaim, establishing himself as a significant figure within the contemporary folk revival.

The Catstrand is a multi-purpose arts venue located in the village of New Galloway in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. Originally built as a picture house in 1914, it operated as a cinema until its closure in 1978. Following a period of disuse and potential demolition, a community initiative led to its refurbishment and reopening in 2008. Today it functions as a cinema, theatre, exhibition space, and live music venue; serving both local residents and attracting visitors to the area. The building retains many of its original features alongside modern facilities.
