SAW DOCTORS PLAY AFTER RACING

THE SAW DOCTORS TO PLAY 90 MINUTE SET AT RACES Saw Doctors
IRISH folk rockers The Saw Doctors take to the stage in the new Grandstand Bar after racing on Friday, 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 a full 90 minute set including all their classics such as "I Useta Lover", "Clare Island" and "N 17".
The Saw Doctors are due on stage at approximately 6.15 pm and 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.

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.
