George, who has plans to extend the event to a two-day annual extravaganza from next year, said: “We’re really excited about this year’s line-up.
“Not only do we have one of the biggest names in UK country music, we are able to give our guests some of the best young talent around.
“The Shires have enjoyed mainstream success and will provide great entertainment, while many of our guests will recognise Ciara from her amazing performance of Nessun Dorma on The Voice earlier this year.

“Natasha will not be known to many people unless they are regular shoppers on Buchanan Street in Glasgow, but when I came across her busking I just knew she had to be part of Fyvie Live. We’re really looking forward to welcoming everyone to the biggest and best event here yet.”
