Arran Rock n Blues Festival is a family friendly music festival hosting live bands. It is a welcoming inclusive festival run over two days with two stages one being the village hall the other the garden at the hotel in Lochranza. Opportunities are given to local musicians to perform and a backline and professional sound engineer is provided. To supplement the festival we are hosting a market on the green which showcases local food, drink and crafts

Oor Hame is a project looking at what home means. Photo workshops will encourage young people to produce their own idea of what makes “Hame” and create an open air gallery in local shop windows.

This project focuses on community health and wellbeing and community spirit in order to reduce the effects of isolation within our elderly population and to give our young people skills for their future in the both the creative arts and social service type careers. We are looking to host a photography exhibtion which will allow senior pupils to display their photographs of the local area to invited local elderly care home residents.  We are aware of the isolation facing some of our elderly residents who are no longer able to get out and around the local area by themselves.  The aim of the exhibition is to bring the local sights to them within a warm and welcoming environment.  Higher Photography pupils will design an exhibition to take place within the school where local residents will enjoy a social afternoon of conversation with young people about their memories of the town whilst seeing the development of the local area through photographs.

Chauvet Wash FX Hex LED light would help enhabnce the annual pantomime produced by Livingstone Players. The idea would be to purchase 2 and have them located near the sound station at the back of the hall so that additional effects can be added in addition to the lighting that the backstage crew control.. 

This is a comminity based project and is made up of a variety of local people of different ages and backgrounds who come together to produce, choreograph and write an annual pantomime as well as support all the technical background required to put the show on.  

We are a community brass band organisation. We have a contest band, a community / fun band and a youth band. The youth band has 25 players of all ages and we have around 20 in our brass and percussion learner groups. We wish to buy musical instruments for new youth learners and additional sheet music arrangements.

LMC offers an informal setting for amateur musicians to meet on a regular basis and encourage one another to improve their skill level on their preferred musical instrument.

We would like to re-run our free six-week adult art workshop Everyone an Artist, at the North Ayrshire Foodbank in Ardrossan. We would like to purchase new materials to learn new skills.
