The 'Lowe's Legacy Summer Party' comes to the Westhill Country Hotel this Sunday 25 August in memory of Dean Lowe and his 11-year-old son Charlie who were tragically killed in a hit-and-run last year.

Islanders can expect seven hours of live music from The Reminders (which was Dean's group), The Impressions, The Beantles, Jaime Boylen, Jenny O'Shea, and many more, as well as the opportunity to enjoy "Westhill's infamous BBQ".
