There's a rocked-up four-strong bill at the Tooth & Claw, doors 7pm, with Greater Than Fear, The Idiot X, Thousand Mile Stare and Atomic Mother. Up at Bogbain Farm, young six-piece trad band Cala are launching their debut album From The River (7pm). And if you are up for a night at Strathpeffer Pavilion, you will find Toploader there (7pm), fulfilling a postponed gig and stars of the fundraising night for the Strathpeffer Pavilion Community Trust itself that owns the venue. Pop along and support both! Plus, the night before, you could get warmed up for all of it with a cheeky five-strong line-up of Up The IV, Broken Ravens, Gunpoint X, Dal Raita and Aklias at the Tooth & Claw (7pm doors)! More here on Cala.
