Organisers of Dundee’s Almost Blue festival said this year’s event had been hit all the right notes despite torrential downpours on Saturday night.
The three-day event saw music fans cram into pubs across the city for a weekend of live music.
Nineteen different venues staged concerts over the three-days with more than 100 separate gigs on offer for punters.
Although the festival mostly takes places in pubs in and around Dundee city centre two bars in Broughty Ferry – The Fort and Doc Ferry’s – also staged concerts.
The Almost Blue festival first took place in 2012 when just two pubs as venues and has grown in size every year since.
Sunday saw performances from bands including Snappin’ Turtles, The Wolves and Boogalusa.
Organiser Alan Wilson said the festival had enjoyed another successful weekend despite Saturday night’s downpour.
He said: “The rain might have stopped a few people coming out on Saturday but once it started at tea-time all the pubs were full, even the ones that weren’t taking part in the festival.
“So while there weren’t as many people walking about as usual, the pubs were all busy.
“The whole weekend has gone without a hitch and the response we have had from the crowds has been fantastic.
“That’s all you can ask, really.”
Mr Wilson added the festival remains committed to providing a weekend of free live music each year.
Organisers had considered the option of staging a paid headline concert this year but decided to keep all gigs free.
He said: “We did test the water and asked about that. Some people were in favour of it but the idea of the festival is that you can just walk around and that every concert is free.
“That’s what the majority of people want.”
Almost Blue grew in size following the collapse of the Dundee Blues Bonanza in 2013 and is now a fixture on Dundee’s musical calendar with bands, and fans, travelling from across the UK to take part.
