A three-day music festival kicks off in Dundee on Friday, money from which will be donated to local charities and causes.
Book Yer Ane Fest X is a punk music festival which will be hosted across several of the city’s bars and clubs.
The festival, which starts on Friday with a show in Conroy’s Basement bar, has been running since 2008 and is curated by Derrick Johnston of Make That a Take records.
Money raised through ticket sales will be donated to the Safe-Tay charity, as well as other local causes.
Charities such as Insight Counseling, The Royal Life Saving Society and Tayside
Mountain Rescue will benefit from money raised over the three-day event, and a collection of toiletries and food will be taken for the Dundee Foodbank.
Derrick said: “We are very grateful to be welcoming artists from all over the globe including performers from the USA, Canada, New Zealand, Europe and all corners of the UK.
“Make That A Take aim to foster a positive and safe environment that is welcoming to all people who want to share in a weekend of fun, engagement and world class DIY punk rock to support causes that are very close to our collective
hearts.
“We invite everyone to come and join us in Dundee for a weekend of punk rock, family and fundraising to support the community that has helped shape our collective over the last decade.”
Venues in Edinburgh and Glasgow will also host concerts before and after the three-day Dundee event, hosted under the Book Yer Ane Fest banner.
A three-day ticket can be purchased for £25 via the Make That a Take website, and will give customers access to all of the venues hosting bands over the weekend.
Bands will be performing at Buskers, The Firefly and Conroy’s Basement. Acoustic “early shows” will also be held at Groucho’s on the Nethergate on Saturday from 11am, and are free to attend.
Safe-Tay are a Perth based river water charity, who have been active across Courier Country since 2006.
