An Inverness venue is taking part in a seven-day nationwide live music event.
Mad Hatters, based at Hootananny in Church Street, will present home sessions with live acoustic music performances as part of Independent Venue Week.
The sessions will be streamed via the venue’s Facebook page MadHattersMusicVenue on Saturday, January 30.
Noah Ramanan, who started the Highland-based band, Ramanan Ritual, will appear at 8pm.
He will be followed by singer-songwriter Susanna Wolfe at 8.30pm while Inverness singer-songwriter Dylan Tierney will be the third performer at 9pm.
Mad Hatters music programmer Steve Robertson said: "We were keen to be involved with Independent Venue Week, despite the current restrictions, and managed to put together a great, diverse bill with three fantastic acts to celebrate not only music venues across the country, but to present a great night of music."
The national event independentvenueweek aims to celebrate the people who own, run and work in venues, week in, week out.
Backers say the venues give artists their first experience of playing in front of an audience while those wanting a music career off the stage can also learn their craft in a small venue.
