Prestfest hitting right notes as Ayrshire music festival gears up for 10th anniversary

A popular music festival is gearing up to return for its 10th anniversary bash.

Prestfest sees the town of Prestwick transformed for an entire weekend with pubs, bars, restaurants and open-air gigs.

Thousands are expected to beat a path to South Ayrshire to mark the annual spectacular at the beginning of September.

Three days of music and entertainment will see more than 150 acts take to stages across town.

The Voice star Jeremy Levif will be among those performing with the usual line-up of undiscovered talent and well-kent faces.

The action kicks off on Friday, September 2, and will run across a total of 10 venues, including two days of open-air concerts at Boydfield Gardens.

Bill Briceland, one of those on the organising committee, said: "We'll have the usual line-up featuring top tribute acts and original artists, cover bands and, for the first time ever, a pop-up comedy club.

"It's going to be an exciting weekend of fantastic, free, live entertainment guaranteed and it runs all the way from the cricket club to the Hangar and all points in between.

"Anyone wandering along the Main Street will be rewarded with some interesting acts playing in some unusual places. There really will be something for everyone to enjoy."

The hard-working Prestfest committee would like to thank all of their sponsors for their support, especially South Ayrshire Council, Destination Ayrshire and the lotto community fund whose help has made this year’s festival possible.
