An Ayrshire venue is to play host to a national tour which supports the revival of the live music industry.
Scotland on Tour, an exciting initiative to support the recovery of the hard-hit live music scene will return to Ayr when Samson Sounds come to town.
The Glasgow-based band will play reimagined venue the Printhouse, formerly Furys, on Friday, October 7.
They will be on of more than 120 artists who will take to stages as the industry continues to bounce back from a two-year Covid shutdown.
Known for their unique stage presence, the band are heavily influenced by the Jamaican born UK Sound System culture, first brought to the UK in the 1970s and 1980s.
The four-piece aim to create ‘positive dance floor vibrations’ with their eclectic mix of West African, Latin music and Scottish culture.

“We can't wait to hear their vibrant and unique sound on our stage and see them live in action in Ayr.”
