A GIG in support of North Ayrshire Foodbank has been a massive success, with an impressive 375kg of food donated by music fans.

The event, organised by Ardrossan Music Experience, saw Tom McGuire and the Brassholes and Riff Raff taking to the stage.

Revellers could enjoy the gig at Ardrossan Indoor Bowling Club for free but were encouraged to bring along an item to donate to the food bank.

Peter McNamara, from Ardrossan Music Experience, told the Herald: “It was one of the best nights we’ve had, it was absolutely brilliant. There were well over 120 people there, a really good mixture of young and old.

“It was a night of cracking music from local and national bands. Over 300 kilos of food was raised. To raise that amount of food for the community was fantastic.”

The next Ardrossan Music Experience event will be Sounds on the Sand, an all-day gig headlined by The Skids on Saturday, September 23 at Ardrossan Promenade. See next week’s Herald for more details.
