AN IRVINE man will form part of an emergency services team set to take on a unique fundraising challenge.

An ambulance care assistant Dean Burnett will be joining Chris Daly, of Police Scotland, and Gareth Price from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service for a 'DJ battle'.

The trio will come together to form the BluesN2's and will be taking on the renowned GBX team from Clyde 1, including George Bowie himself.

The fundraiser will be held on August 23 at Platform Glasgow and has been organised in a bid to raise funds for Cash for Kids.

Tickets are currently available to buy online here with the event promising to be an exceptional occasion.

As well as providing the familiar beats of GBX, Irvine man Dean will bring a strong pedigree to the event in his own right.

The 31-year-old joined the Scottish Ambulance Service in 2022 having previously worked at NHS Ayrshire and Arran in palliative care.

But before this time, Dean was a resident DJ in Ibiza for two summers and has supported well-known acts over the past 12 years such as Joel Corry, Ian Van Dhal and Judge Jules.

He still gets behind the decks on a part-time basis to this day.

Dean said:  “This full day event promises to bring the best in old school dance and electronic music in one of the most well renowned venues.

"It’s a day out not to be missed with all proceeds going directly to this amazing cause.”
