As we finalise our efforts to deliver the November 2023 Vertex Weekend Festival, it is with great sadness we remember the loss of Chris Maughan. His recent death in mid August has exposed a massive void within Vertex in terms of energy, inspiration, and vision, but also the loss of a kind and generous person.
Chris was the originator of Vertex which was established in 2017, and his passion was organising cultural events for the benefit of the local communities. During the Pandemic we suffered a slump in usual activities such as Music, Workshops and Exhibitions. In 2022 and 2023 Chris focused on re-establishing Vertex, and was particularly excited to bring sold out concerts like Catfish Keith and Fara to West Kilbride.
Just before his passing the newly invigorated Vertex team were all busy planning and organising the upcoming November 2023 Weekend Festival and we know how excited Chris would have been, hosting this event and welcoming the guests to the Village Hall with an impressive lineup of artists.
He was also looking forward to the future evolution of Vertex and all the new ways we would enrich the lives of people within the local community.
Vertex endeavours to carry on in Chris’s footsteps and we hope you will continue to support us. Please look out for future events through the normal channels.
Thanks - The Vertex Team.
