Manager of Milngavie Town Centre BID Ltd Martin kerr said: “The weather forecast is good with warm and sunny weather predicted. It should be another wonderful and enjoyable event.

“Live performers will entertain attendees in a variety of musical styles. There should be something for everyone’s taste including folk, blues, jazz, soul, Cajun amongst others.

“So why not purchase a craft beer, sit down at one of the wooden picnic benches, enjoy the sun and listen to the likes of Willow Moon, Luke Daniels, Eightsome Reed, Honest Sam Acoustic, John McNamara, Tim Black, Geordie Dickson, Sloth Metropolis and the Al Fleming Blues Band.

“Should all that hard work drinking beer and listening to great music make you hungry caterers will be on hand to sell you burgers, steaks, hot dogs, ribs, chicken wings, fries and hot drinks.”
