Nith Riff is a programme for adults across Dumfries and Galloway. It provides a unique opportunity to ‘jam’, experiment with different instruments, and develop songs together in a social and inclusive setting.

Workshops are designed to support participants in experimenting with music, musical instruments and singing/songwriting/spoken word - building confidence in their own musical abilities, and working towards regular performances throughout the year.

All sessions are lead by a group of professionally trained Paragon musicians and practitioners who specialise in supporting people with access requirements.

Nith Riff is run in partnership with Leonard Cheshire Disability and the Theatre Royal in Dumfries, and with support from Dumfries and Galloway Council.
