Local businesses Hastings Legal and The ‘Wee Guitar Shop’ in Selkirk have sponsored generously. Morrisons in Hawick, Sainsburys in Kelso and Tesco in Galashiels have supported by allowing the group to play there.

The Heart of Hawick auditorium supported a concert (along with the helpful Lindsay Ross - sound technician). Everywhere there have been enthusiastic audiences, help and support and even dancing.
