Freckfest - The Freckfest team got together in 2013 to plan a single-night tribute to Willie Freckleton who had been responsible for bringing major events and artists to Irvine from Chuck Berry to the Clash, Oasis, Runrig, The Smiths, Madness and many more.  Willie also made sure local bands had opportunities to play alongside big names.  
The single night turned into a weekend festival in 2013 and the group then formed a Charity under a SCIO and started to bring regular concerts to Ayrshire, primarily based in the Harbour Arts Centre, with some larger events based in Troon, Kilmarnock and Ayr.  
Now with over 125 shows under their belt, they continue to attract ‘names’ to the area and to give local artists an outlet, all made by like minded volunteers with a passion for music and the area.
