The second annual Music at the Multiverse weekend is underway – with live music and DJs performing at Crawick Multiverse in Dumfries and Galloway.
Rain showers failed to deter audiences including 18 youngsters from the 1st Kelloholm Brownies who received free tickets thanks to sponsorship from local company Shaw.
The Brownies, who were among the first to arrive, were given a special backstage tour and DJ Malcolm X got them all dancing in the new Dance Tent.
A group of Kelloholm Guides is due to have a similar treat on Sunday.
Sharon Glendinning, General Manager of Crawick Multiverse, said “The weekend is getting off to a great start and we were delighted to welcome the Brownies along to enjoy the event and get a behind the scenes speak out how a music event works.
“There’s going to be lots of great music over the weekend and we’re looking forward to sharing the event, and Crawick Multiverse, with locals and visitors from further afield.”
Sponsorship from David Hardie Engineering Ltd allowed Crawick to work with Action for Children Upper Nithsdale to provide tickets for four families who would otherwise not have been able to attend.
Music at The Multiverse is a two-day event, on 3-4 September, at Crawick Multiverse (a spectacular 55-acre environmental artwork and visitor attraction inspired by the sun, stars and colliding galaxies).
Mallorca Lee will bring his 1994 brand on the Sunday to play a whole day of Old Skool music by the artists responsible for making back in the day so unforgettable.
