| Everyone's Happy at Brookfield Nights |
 |
| Once a month (and sometimes twice) the joint is jumping and what we guarantee is happy, smiling faces. Since Brookfield Nights began, some top names have passed through. Everybody has a ball and each time, a charity benefits as profits go to a worthy causes. |
|
| Among those we have helped are: |
|
|
ROKPA, the charity which does so much valuable work in Nepal with Tibetan refugees. |
|
|
Hessilhead Wildlife Rescue Trust, the hospital for wild creatures large and small in Ayrshire. |
|
|
Scottish Bluegrass Association (Music In The Schools project) to fund visits by musicians to various educational establishments. |
|
|
The Tsunami Disaster Appeal |
|
|
Swarbaid, to help British folk legend Dave Swarbrick (Fairport Convention) get back on his feet after double lung transplant surgery. |
|
|
African Youth Development Action Project, towards sports training initiatives for young people in Liberia. |
|
| Brookfield Nights may be popular with our regulars but musicians also enjoy our beautiful village hall as one of the better of the small-is-beautiful gigs in Scotland. |
|
| We aim to encourage more local communities to join with us to try and develop a circuit, using Brookfield as an example of what can be achieved in a rural setting. |
|
| In the past, we have been entertained by world-class performers such as The Bills and The Paperboys - both from Canada; Darden Smith, Chris Smither, Mark Erelli, Laura Boosinger, Beverly Smith & Carl Jones, Backstreet and Valerie Smith & Liberty Pike, The Wilders and The Crooked Jades from USA; great Scottish talent such as The Vatersay Boys, Mike Whellans, Yvonne Lyon, Grant Campbell, Crescent City Soul, The Border Boogie Band, Black Rose Ceilidh Band, Rockin’ Horse, The Accelerators, Glasgow Gospel Choir and Back Of The Moon; Cajun hot shots Bayous from Denmark, bluegrass sensations, Roll’s Boys from the Czech Republic, and the outstanding Willy Clay Band from Sweden. |
|
| What do they share in common? They all want to return, and some have indeed been welcomed back. |
