LARGS LIVE is back at 25 venues with 75 bands and 100 gigs! The free music extravaganza will take place from 26 to 28 June.

The mammoth operation will involve as many of the town’s businesses as possible, with letters encouraging them to get involved and book the bands already signed up for the festival.

The Explore Largs Street Ambassadors will be working with Stephen McDonald of Lounge, who has kindly passed on all his booking contacts to the town to ensure everyone can take part.

A regular feature in the Largs entertainment calendar, Largs Live attracts thousands of people to the town and reinforces the message that Largs is the place to go, see and stay.

This year’s event will, for the first time, be supported by a TV advertising campaign, as was the Largs Food Fest a couple of weeks ago.

John Hamilton, The BID Manager, said: “This event is really important for the town, especially in timing.

“We have to get the message out right at the start of the school summer holidays, that Largs is the destination of choice for all the family.” He continued, “We will once again be looking at street entertainment and children’s entertainment for the town, which proved very popular last year.

“This is an important event for all the businesses in Largs, not just the food and beverage industry.” Mary McDonald, Proprietor of the award winning St Leonards Guest House, in Irvine Road, Largs, was fully booked during the Largs Live 2014, and added “We are already getting calls and bookings to stay for the event, as are many of the Hotels, Guest Houses and B&B’s in the area.” Franca Sheridan, of Largo, was also pleased with the event: “We were a lot busier during Largs Live 2014, we had more people in the shop and online too!” Largs Live certainly lives up to its reputation, as the whole town comes alive with a wonderful carnival atmosphere, so prepare to party, whatever your age!

So, with the event just weeks away, “The News” will keep you posted with the lastest bookings and headline acts.
