PICTURES: Black Isle Calling Highland music festival draws the crowds
A brand new two-day music festival came to the Black Isle over the weekend.
The Ironworks Venue, band Elephant Sessions and Black Isle Brewery teamed up to launch "Black Isle Calling – Live at the Brewery", held on the Black Isle Brewery farm.
Alongside festival partners, Elephant Sessions, the programme included an eclectic mix of artists and DJs, headlined by The Fun Lovin’ Criminals’ Huey Morgan, The LaFontaines and Elephant Sessions themselves.
Other acts to feature over the weekend included Lusa, the new project from Niteworks’ Innes Strachan, Thurso indie-rock band Forgetting the Future, emerging Highland/Glasgow act Low Light Listening Lounge, alt-pop singer-songwriter Keir GIbson, ‘Sound of New Scotland’ 2022 SAY Award winners No Windows, and the Feis Rois Ceilidh Trail.
Speaking previously, as the event was announced, Caroline Campbell, director of the Ironworks Venue said it was delighted to be involved along with Elephant Sessions - which performed the last gig at the Ironworks venue in Inverness’s Academy Street before it shut its doors last year.
Euan from Elephant Sessions said: “Ever since the closure of the Ironworks venue, many artists like us were left without somewhere to perform. We've dreamt about putting on a festival for years and we couldn't be happier to team up with the Ironworks and our favourite brewery.
