FRECKFEST shows coming up later this year.
With many more in the pipeline.

Freckfest is Ayrshire's most active music promoter having just completed its 184th show with another sold out concert at the HAC - CAEZAR.

Freckfest promotes national well known acts AND local new acts usually in the format Main act + Support act bringing great live music performances to Ayrshire but also giving new acts a chance in front of an appreciative audience.

It also brings work to musicians and technical crew as well as keeping venues active and bringing in visitors to the area to attend performances at a number of venues in Ayrshire.

Freckfest is a charity and most of the regular team are local volunteers.

As well as entertainment Freckfest also has a positive impact on the local economy with many event attendees and performers using local hotels, restuarants and B&Bs.

Irvine used to have a 1800 capacity concert venue and a 310 capacity excellent little theatre that were both demolished a few years ago and unfortunately never replaced.

Freckfest shows, at the HAC in particular, almost always sell out and Irvine is a big enough town of around 40000 people. It really does need a bigger arts & entertainments venue.

A bigger venue would make shows much more financially viable and sustainable in the long term.

Check out Freckfest and the shows coming up.
Come along and join in.

This week marks a year since the start of the UK's Covid-19 lockdown.
Many businesses have been open and closed sporadically during this last year of various levels of lockdown (Cafes, Hairdressers. Pubs, Restaurants etc)
Many businesses were virtually unaffected (some manufactring, delivery work etc) and some businesses did extremely well out of the Crisis (Amazon, Zoom, etc)
Certainly some people's workload increased exponentially beyond the limits (NHS, Care work etc).
The Live Music industry (and Events industry in general) has been at a complete standstill with our last Concerts just over a year ago with the ButeSong mini-festival, Carol Laula FreckFest show at the HAC and Seaside Ska 6 in Troon.
It will be a strange experience to switch on a mixing desk again and actually mix a show with a live audience - it is still completely unclear when that will be.
From getting to run Airshows and Mixing live bands at concerts there is no better job than working in Live Events - its not that the money is that great, the hours are completely incredibly bonkers to people doing 'normal' jobs and the financial risks are enormous - but it does make you feel......alive.
It is life affirming.
Hopefully we in the live events industry can get back to the work we love doing sometime in 2021.

What a year !

Over the years the Zisys Team has delivered many events on live video links and even joined events together through video linking.
Instead of cancelling an event consider getting Zisys in to live stream your event or concert to 'virtual' attendees.
We have the kit, knowledge and people to keep your event running with excellent audio and HD video.
Behind 'virtual ticketed' paywalls or by password 'entrance'.
Just because we are in lock down does not mean we have to stop all events.
Keep on Rockin' in the (virtual) Freeworld !!
