A transatlantic session like no other with film, chat and live music from Neil Sutcliffe, star of James Kelman’s Dirt Road To Lafayette – Another collaboration with our sister community cinema group Letham Lights. This midsummer show will bring you an afternoon film, Dirt Road to Lafayette, followed by Q&A with Neil Sutcliffe who plays Murdo, the main protagonist of the film. Neil will then lead an evening gig. He has specially put together a cajun/zydeco/texmex band for the evening and we also hope to be joined for the Q&A by director Kenny Glenaan.

Jemima Thewes is a rising star on the indie folk scene. Her beautiful and haunting voice and unique arrangements need to be heard.

Slow Session coming up…
How would you like to play music without an audience but in a group of others just learning tunes and playing together AND help fundraise for Letham Nights? After positive feedback about the idea at our last show, we have decided to run our first fundraising Slow Session on the Sunday after Letham Nights #66 – 26th June. If you fancy this, here is the ticket link:
Tickets here – by donation – whatever you choose or can afford, but we recommend a guide price of £10.

The Clap and Tipple bar is there to quench your thirst and tickle your taste buds with a delicious selection of locally sourced, organic and/or fair trade drinks and snacks. Have a local ale from the Clap & Tipple Bar – or whatever your tipple is…
Letham Nights…
Letham Nights began in December 2008. Our vision was to bring high quality music to our village hall and provide a stage for local talent. At the same time we wanted to promote sustainability and work towards creating a zero carbon village hall. 8 years and over 80 acts later, we have drawn in an audience which now regularly fills our 120-capacity hall and hosted acts from all over the world! We have supported hall improvements so that we now have double glazing, better insulation, renewed wiring and a new efficient boiler. The events are renowned for their high quality music and the unique, warm and welcoming atmosphere. We really do put on THE BEST SMALL GIGS IN THE WORLD!
Letham Village Hall, Fife is on the A92 just 15 minutes from the Tay Bridge, 10 minutes from Cupar and 15 from Glenrothes.

Green Arts Initiative
Letham Nights is now a member of the Green Arts Initiative, an interactive community of Scottish arts organisations working to promote sustainability and reduce their environmental impact – a perfect fit for Letham Nights!
Run by Creative Carbon Scotland and Festivals Edinburgh since 2013, the Green Arts Initiative supports Scottish arts organisations to be at the forefront of growing an environmentally sustainable Scotland.
In 2022 we will:
- continue supporting the hall to make more energy improvements,
- keep promoting local music and musicians
- continue to recycle and reuse as much as we can and stock our bar, The Clap and Tipple, with produce from our local bottle shop, Luvians and sustainable wholesaler, Green City.
And some new things! We will also:
- support the health and well being of our community by increasing collaborations with other local groups and individuals (e.g. the Primary School, the Secret Garden Nursery, Letham Lights – our community cinema and Monimail Makers who promote sustainable living by sharing traditional skills). We have already planted a native hedgerow for wildlife in our local park with all the children and young people in the community.
