Gracie the Band at Dunshalt Village Hall

Mary Ann Thomson, formerly of Dunshalt and Auchtermuchty, makes a musical return to Dunshalt with Annie Mather and Jamie Butter next month.

Collectively known as ‘Gracie the Band’ they’ll be playing in the Village Hall on July 4, 2026.

Mary Ann said: “It’s lovely to be playing where I grew up, went to Primary School and have so many happy memories. I’m really looking forward to playing with the band in the Village Hall and hopefully seeing some old and some not so old kent faces!”.

Gracie the Band blend beautiful harmonies with accomplished musicianship. In their repertoire they cover songs from The Beatles, The Carpenters, Nancy Sinatra and the Mamas and the Papas amongst others, as well as incorporating their own original music which is deeply rooted in Scottish Folk and Blues.

They are rapidly gaining attention across Fife and Tayside as their profile builds up and they will be back in Fife for WoodFest 26 in Glenrothes in August.

An accompanying act on the evening is a contrasting performer Monooka. She is a Transylvanian born Romanian singer and an interdisciplinary artist based in Dundee. She performs traditional songs from the Carpathian Mountains with a twist of improvisation as well as her own material. Promises to be an exciting evening.

Doors open at 7pm for 7.30pm. Tickets priced £10 are available from Miller’s Blacksmith Office Dunshalt or by phoning Pete on 07954 200071.
