A legendary Ayr club night are getting set to rock around the Christmas tree later this month.
Yes, you read that correctly — the forbidden C has been uttered six months early...in June.
Powerhouse, the popular rock and alternative club nights which ran in Ayr town from 1979 through to the 2000s and relaunched again last September, are back on Saturday, June 25 after last year’s Christmas Eve bash was postponed due to Covid-19.
Powerhouse’s famed ‘Christmas Eve Hoolie’, which will deck the halls of Venue 38 on Ayr’s Carrick Street, gives revellers the chance to dig out their Christmas jumpers and Santa hats twice in one year for some extra festive fun.
Organiser David Grant, whose mum Annie Scott started Powerhouse alongside the late and great DJ Tom Jones, said: “We all missed out on a big Christmas Eve night out last year so we thought, rather than cancel it, we’d just postpone it and have a Christmas Hoolie in June.
“We’ll have two Christmas Eves this year — the usual one and a June practise run!
“We’re going all out Christmas so the club will be decked out with all the decorations, including boughs of holly, Christmas songs and a countdown at midnight.
“Big Licks will play live to kick us off and then we’ll ‘unleash The Beast’ playing the best classic rock, grunge, indie, alternative, punk, bit of cheese, bit of dance and loads of Christmas songs too.”
Tickets are priced at £5, with doors opening from 8pm.
