After registering with us on the island you make your way along the road and soon you will come across the Hospice van where our volunteers will provide you with food and a drink for extra energy! When you reach Millport, you can pop into the Newton Bar for a complimentary bowl of soup then spend some time relaxing at their karaoke. If your singing voice has deserted you, simply make your way back to the ferry - we’ll be there to check you off the island (we’d hate to leave anyone behind!) and make your way home. Don’t worry if you get tired, we’ll even give any stragglers a lift back to the ferry!

THE BAD SHEPHERDS with ADRIAN EDMONDSON

Ayr Town Hall New Bridge Street
Ayr
KA7 1LX

Adrian Edmondson was a teenager when punk arrived. The songs of The Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Jam and The Stranglers were the soundtrack to his life through the late 70’s and early 80’s, and like a lot of people of his generation he was fond of playing these songs to himself at home on his acoustic guitar. They've recently recorded an album, 'Yan, Tyan, Tethera, Methera!', which is out now - it was recorded 'as live' at the Blue Moon studios in Banbury. 'Yan, Tyan, Tethera, Methera' means 'One, Two, Three, Four' in an ancient Cumbrian dialect used almost exclusively by shepherds. Had the Ramones been Cumbrian shepherds, it's what they would have shouted as the intro to every song...

ALEKSANDER KUDAJCZYK performing Chopin.

Holy Trinity Church Fullarton Street
Ayr
KA7 1UB

When university cleaner Aleksander Kudajczyk put down his mop to play a few notes on a grand piano he thought no one would hear him. Had he known of the camera in the corner he would never have touched the instrument - and his talent would have remained undiscovered. But he has graduated from lowly cleaner to concert pianist after a spellbinding performance of Chopin compositions played to an empty room. The 28-year-old, who arrived in Britain in 2006, had considered himself lucky to land a job cleaning the university law department. He saw no need to mention the fact he had studied at one of Poland’s finest music academies. But the unwitting public performance so enraptured his on-line audience that he is now playing packed venues.

Part of Sportember! Girvan Golf Classic is three rounds of strokeplay over Girvan Golf course. Open to all amateur gentlemen golfers who are members of a recognised golf club and are holders of a senior club handicap. Girvan golf course is a ‘pugnacious little course’ where the exposed first eight holes are pure Scottish links, immediately adjaecent to the beach with the same stunning views towards the Ailsa Craig in the Firth of Clyde as it’s illustrious neighbour Turnberry. The following ten holes are parkland providing a varied challenge, this latter part has the added interest of the river, from which the town takes it’s name. Care should be taken on the 9th tee as this hole is named after the gentleman who stepped back to admire a good drive only to take an unscheduled dip in the River Girvan! If you score well on Girvan you have played very well indeed.

SPIRIT OF DJANGO with MARTIN TAYLOR

Ayr Town Hall New Bridge Street
Ayr
KA7 1LX

If you can imagine the ideal soundtrack to driving through the scented country roads of France on a hot lazy summer’s day then it would be the music of Martin Taylor’s Spirit of Django. To mark the 100th Anniversary of the birth of one of the founders of European jazz Django Reinhardt, Martin Taylor has reformed his award winning group Spirit of Django after a 15 year hiatus for the new album, ‘Last Train to Hauteville’. Martin Taylor first came to prominence in the ’70s through his work with violinist Stephane Grappelli and as such is able to trace his musical lineage back to Django Reinhardt and the original Quintette du Hot Club de France. In 1994 Martin formed Spirit of Django to re-explore his own Gypsy roots. Their first album reached No.1 in the UK Jazz Charts with their version of Robert Palmer’s ‘Johnny & Mary’ becoming familiar across Europe as the theme for the successful ‘Nicole-Papa’ TV adverts for Renault Clio.
