Ayr, South Ayrshire Bands, Musicians, and Local People Making Music

Local Bands

• Marlow, Rodeo Drive, These Guys, 13: 13
• The best indie band to come out of Scotland since The Jesus and Mary Chain, "The Dirty Hepburns" make beautifully emotive indie rock: The Dirty Hepburns Indie/Rock/Pop (http://www.myspace.com/thedirtyhepburns), With a string of floor-shaking remixes under their belt, and some of the best original dance music (their own style of "Wobblecore"), Emotiquon are on their way to the top, gaining attention from BBC Radio One! Look out for them on the festival scene: Emotiquon, Electro/House (http://www.myspace.com/emotiquon) Gaining credit and attention from several festival promoters for his poetic lyrics and breath-taking songs, Jamie McGeechan is perhaps the next Jack Johnston. With his band Little Fire, they play at any bar where they're offered free booze. Jamie McGeechan & Little Fire Acoustic/Folk/Blues (http://www.myspace.com/littlefiremusic) And for all the Tool, Biffy Clyro, and Q.O.T.S.A fans, Ayr's "Zetas Empire" will have you pogo-ing and throwing your beer all around the place. Well crafted and melodic songs with more guts than a haggis shop: Zetas Empire Rock/Alternative (http://www.myspace.com/zetasempire) And although they're in London just now, the Ayrshire band "Parka" are tipped to be one of Scotland's BIGGEST bands in 2008: Parka Indie/Disco/Punk (http://www.myspace.com/parkamusic)

• I WAS THE LOCAL BAND. Goodness knows. There's some highly original talent in Ayr, take Simone Welsh, the precautious violin player - who looks as good as she sounds. I haven't spoken to her for years, I wonder how she is. She's the most amazing violinist in the world, and I should know, I've heard her, and she's the quickest, wittiest, sexiest little violinist in the history of violinists in Ayr. If I was in Ayr, I'd be playing with Simone...

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.

You can use the add an event form to tell us about events happening in Ayr.
