Irvine and Dreghorn raise the roof
Monday 7 March 2016IRVINE and Dreghorn Band (IDB) has delighted audiences after staging a free concert for everyone to enjoy.
The event, which took place in Irvine Old Parish Church Hall on Sunday, March 6, also featured the less experienced brasslets band, and comes ahead of IDB's trip to the Scottish Championships on Saturday, March 12.
Kelda McMichael, IDB treasurer, said: "We had a great turn out at the concert and a lovely spread of tea, coffee and home baking was laid on by the church. We loved playing the concert would like to thank Irvine Old Parish for hosting us."
The annual band awards were announced and the lucky winners received their trophies. The band was also happy to welcome Deacon Andy Clift to the concert. He made a presentation of £250 on behalf of Irvine Incorporated Trades.
Kelda added: "We'd like to thank the Incorporated Trades for their continued support of the band over many years. It's our 40th anniversary this year and we really appreciate the local links we have built up across Irvine and North Ayrshire."
