Partnershi­p with Coca-Cola will see Casey in PJs

-

COCA- COLA has partnered with a Dunfermlin­e music venue as part of a nationwide campaign.

The Music Venue Trust ( MVT) is working alongside the drinks brand to support the grassroots music community.

PJ Molloys will be the only location in Scotland to host one of a series of gigs to kick off the scheme.

These will be headlined by upand-coming East Midlands singersong­writer Casey Lowry.

The indie- pop artist will play 12 shows across the UK, starting in

Bath in September, and will visit Dunfermlin­e on October 2.

He said: “If it wasn’t for grassroots music venues, I wouldn’t have a career in music. They provide a springboar­d for every emerging artist and keep the culture alive.

“Having Coca-Cola on board with MVT will have a huge impact on keeping these awesome indie venues alive and helping the next wave of music come through. We should celebrate this! It’s a huge deal and I feel honoured to be playing.”

Born and raised in Chesterfie­ld before moving to London to pursue a career in music, failing and then moving into a van, Casey has moved on to winning over crowds with his Springstee­n inspired songs about misfortune­s in love and odes to wanderlust.

The intensity of his fan base took a turn in 2021 with his songs about ‘ silly people on the internet’ going viral and reaching over five million followers across his social platforms.

Calum Miller, of PJ Molloys, said the announceme­nt was “very exciting” and promised “a great night in the venue”.

For a chance to win tickets to the event, visit any Co- op, buy a 500ml Coke Zero or Coke Zero Cherry and scan the QR code on the in- store display.

The promotion ends on August 22.
