Last Year, The Galston Country Music Festival 2004 was an enormous success with bright sunshine and perfect spring weather drawing large crowds yet again. The Galston All stars shone and would like to thank last minute substitutes, Stuart French (Piano) and Tom Grasso (Pedal Steel) who leapt into the fray at short notice when Duncan Toombs unavoidably sidelined having been invited to tour with multi Golden Guitar Winner, Adam Brand. Very substantial monies were raised were raised for the nominated charities
