Tickets on their way!

If you've bought your tickets online through www.liveattroon.com you should be receiving them in the post in the next couple of days.

The L@T Street Team worked hard over a couple of bottles of wine last night to get them labelled packed and mailed out!

If you haven't got your yet - and we keep hearing people telling us that they'll get round to it! - then you can buy them from the website, from the Gaiety Theatre and from Saturday the 25th of July you'll be able to buy them from Old Troon Church at their weekly coffee morning between 10am and noon.

This service is being manned by the Troon Ladies Circle and we are as ever grateful for their support and sponsorship of Live@Troon.

We are getting really excited about the line up for 2015 and with good news in the offing about changes of ownership and re openings in the offing we are looking forward to added momentum with the Fringe venues too.

Have a great weekend!

Seaside Sons on STV

We were delighted that Seaside Sons were one of the bands on the Live@Troon Futures line up at Girvans a few weeks back.

I just caught their live performance over the weekend from back in February on STV Riverside Sessions and thought we should share the link in case you missed it.



They were great live in Troon and we look forward to welcoming them back later in the year again.

Check out the video of their TV performance.
