THEATRE and comedy lovers are in for a treat over the next few days.

The Brunton has announced its latest line-up of events in Musselburgh and Haddington.

Tickets can be bought online for every event at The Brunton's website thebrunton.co.uk or by phone Monday to Friday 11am to 3pm on 013 653 5245.

Families can look forward to the Discovery Film Festival with Shorts for Families on the afternoon of March 7 at 1.30pm, with the matinee movie Hard Truths at 4.15pm, and A Complete Unknown screening at 7pm.

Music enthusiasts will have a lot to look forward to at Haddington Corn Exchange.

On Thursday at 7.30pm, the renowned Scottish fiddle group Blazin’ Fiddles take the stage.

The group are known for their native Scottish fiddle styles, with Jenna Reid, Kristan Harvey and Rua Macmillan the fiddle virtuosos. They will be accompanied by Angus Lyon on piano and Ann Massie on guitar.

On Friday at 7.30pm, The Scottish Comedians will bring their unique styles of comedy to the Corn Exchange.

The line-up includes JoJo Sutherland, Des McLean, Jay Lafferty and Raymond Mearns, promising an evening full of laughter.

On March 2, The Jersey Beats: Oh What A Nite will celebrate the music of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons.

The show, led by Matt Andrew and beginning at 7.30pm, tells the story of the band and their rise to fame.

The Corn Exchange will then welcome Ryan Corbett and The Six Accordions of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland Accordion Ensemble on March 6 at 7.30pm.

The concert will feature music from JS Bach, Reich and Rameau, and is a rare opportunity to enjoy six accordions in one concert.

Ryan Corbett has been praised by Sir James MacMillan as "one of the most astonishing and surprising newcomers in Scottish music".

Another highly anticipated concert is The Maxwell Quartet, Homelands Part 1, set for Thursday at Northesk Church in Musselburgh at 6.30pm.

The Maxwells blend classical and folk music, and their concert provides an opportunity for all ages to enjoy an informal performance, with the chance to chat to the musicians afterwards.
