Venues in Paisley including The Bungalow, The Cave, The Keg, The Old Swan and Rocknrolla’s will host a number of gigs to suit everyone's tastes.

Alan said: “I am absolutely delighted to be involved with what is going to be a fantastic Spree for All again this September.
"It’s great to be back working with artists in venues this year and we have a mix of indoor and outdoor shows for you to come and see free of charge across Renfrewshire.
“We have great artists such as Spiders on Mars, The M65s, Berry Tweed and The Chasers and North to Abeline to name a few – and also the wonderful Village Live youth project at our partner venues.
“I would like to thank Morag (Lochwinnoch Arts), Danny (Raptor Studios) and Ali and Jason (Erskine Arts) for helping make this happen.”
Pauline Allan, Events Manager at Renfrewshire Council, added: “We’re really looking forward to welcoming back the Spree for All events next month, which will once again provide a great accompaniment to The Spree festival in Paisley.
“The exciting programme offers something for everyone to enjoy and provides even more opportunities to get out and enjoy the wealth of talent we have here in Renfrewshire at our fantastic local venues.”
