An army of event staff are working at Irvine beach park to get the beauty spot ready for this weekend's Making Waves Festival.
Site manager Cal Reid started at 7.30am in the blistering heat on Monday with 15 other workmen to begin the back-breaking task of fencing off the area earmarked to fit an audience of 3,000 and developing the infrastructure for all of the needs of the festivalgoers.
And Cal plans to keep the long hours and double his workforce as the week goes on to make sure the first-ever Making Waves music festival goes off without a hitch.
