DJ warns working class are being 'priced out' of culture

When Ewan McVicar was a teenager, he would spend what money he had going to clubs while dreaming of becoming a superstar DJ.

But, having realised his ambition, he fears the next generation of working class kids are being priced out of Scottish culture.

The 31-year-old, who brings his Pavilion festival back to his native Ayr over the first weekend in May, is concerned the rising cost of going to gigs or clubs will stop people being energised by music.

McVicar told BBC Scotland News he often felt alienated at industry events because they were dominated by people from affluent backgrounds.
