SAW DOCTORS TO PLAY ON EVE OF SCOTTISH GRAND NATIONAL

TOP BAND GUEST AT SCOTTISH GRAND NATIONAL FESTIVAL
Saw DoctorsTHE worlds of music and horse racing will meet at Ayr Racecourse next month when Irish folk rockers The Saw Doctors play after racing on the first day of the Coral Scottish Grand National Festival.
The band, who last month were honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2008 Meteor Ireland Music Awards in Dublin will play on Friday April 18 in the new £4.5 million Grandstand Bar which opens at the course that day.
The Saw Doctors are due on stage approximately 20 minutes after the last race which is at 5.45 pm. Entry to the gig is by race tickets only which are £25 for Club and £15 for Grandstand.
Its expected the large numbers of owners, trainers and jockeys who will be at Ayr for racing will stay on to see the group affectionately known as "racing's band". They have a great affinity with the racing world and have already played a string of racecourse dates throughout the UK.
Last year The Saw Doctors appeared with Deacon Blue at Rock At The Racecourse at Ayr and racecourse PR Iain Ferguson said : "It should be a very, very good night. There is usually a decent crowd at the Friday meeting before the Scottish national and the Saw Doctors will add to that.
"I know by talking to the jump jockeys who regularly ride here that they are looking forward to seeing the band."
Tickets can be purchased online at www.ayr-racecourse.co.uk or by calling 0870-8505666. There is a £2 discount available on Club tickets if these are booked seven or more days in advance and £4 discount for quantities of 20 or more. Grandstand discounts are £1 per ticket on bookings up to 20 and £2 per ticket for 20 or more.
The Saw Doctors concert will be the first of several at Ayr Racecourse in 2008. Status Quo headline this year's Burns Rock At The Racecourse on Saturday May 24 and Abba tribute band Bjorn Again appear after racing on Saints and Sinners Night June 20.
