A Highland music festival is poised to pay tribute to a local DJ who died earlier this year.
Groove Loch Ness will remember Filth DJ Ross Lyall, who suffered from type one diabetes and died in March after spending five days in intensive care.
Andrew McGibbon, his DJ partner, will be playing a special set on the main stage in memory of his friend.
He said: “Last year, Ross and I were delighted to be a part of Groove.
“I clearly remember a moment when we stopped and took a minute to take in the atmosphere and the sights around us and really appreciate what we were experiencing.
“Sadly we won’t have a chance to do that again but I’m delighted that Groove have made this gesture and giving us the chance to celebrate Ross and his massive effect on so many people’s lives.”
The Filth set will take place before one of the festivals main acts Boys Noize take to the stage
In a statement, Mr Lyall’s family said: “Ross was so privileged and excited that Filth were asked to play at the inaugural Groove Festival at Dores last year.
“Tragically Ross won’t be with us, but one think is absolutely certain he would want you all to chill and have a great time.”
“He loved the Groove concept and loved being part of it. So maybe for a short time in the 20th August you could remember Ross and the type of music he and Andrew brought to the Highlands.”
Groove has also announced that Diabetes UK will the its chosen charity this year, with collections being taken throughout the festival site.
