Saw Doctors Take Five

25 January 2011

The Saw Doctors, Ireland's top folk rock band are returning to Ayr Racecourse for a record fifth time in April.

The five piece band will play in the Ayrshire Suite after racing on Friday April 15, the opening day of the Coral Scottish Grand National Festival. Entrance to the gig will be by race ticket only.

The Saw Doctors first appeared at the course back in 2007 alongside Deacon Blue at the first ever Rock At The Racecourse. The following year they appeared on Coral Scottish Grand National Friday to mark the opening of the Ayrshire Suite and have appeared at the venue every year since.

Last year saw the band release a new studio album 'The Further Adventures Of The Saw Doctors' and they will be touring the USA prior to playing Ayr in April to promote the album.

Iain Ferguson, PR at Ayr Racecourse, said : "April's Coral Scottish Grand National Friday has become synonymous with The Saw Doctors. This year they will be just back from the States and are kicking off a mini British tour from here.

"The interaction they have with the crowd is truly special and we are delighted they are returning to the Ayrshire Suite once again."
