Irvine held a series of events last weekend to celebrate the Scottish Open. With live music throughout t the Harbourside the area was filled full of goings on. Although the weather could have been kinder it was great to see so many people enjoying themselves.
The event was headlined by some impressive fireworks and showed just how enjoyable it can be to spend a day by the Harbourside, which has come on so much in recent years.
I had a really positive experience this week as I managed to find a free piano online using Facebook Marketplace. Having been on the lookout for one for some time I was over the moon to find the kind owners were happy for me to have it. Thanks to Enuice and Jamie, I will look after her and pour my heart into some brand new recordings that I will let you hear very soon.
There are always instruments and music accessories available online and it’s amazing how easy it can be to pick up a good deal locally if you look hard enough. Thanks again to Enuice and Jamie for making my day.
