Just 50 per cent of tickets remain for the main shows at the inaugural Fresh Ayr Folk Festival next month. 

The festival will be taking over some of Ayr's most popular venues from August 9 to 11. 

Artists and bands will bring a full weekend of trad and roots music from across Ayrshire, Scotland and beyond. 

The festival was originally planned for Rozelle Park in Ayr last August, but was later rescheduled for this year.

Top stars will descend on the town including Kinnaris Quintet, Session A9, Valtos and The Paul McKenna Band. 

Other artists on the bill include Ryan Young, Edwina Hayes, Jeremy Levif, Amy Papiransky and Stewarton duo Binky Blue.

Only 35 tickets remain for the early evening concerts, with around half sold for the main shows in Ayr Town Hall.
