Fans turned out to see a series of stars from bands like Deacon Blue, Simple Minds and The Bluebells at a benefit gig in Dundee on Friday.

The acoustic show at the Caird Hall, A Night For Keith, was to benefit Dundee musician Keith Matheson, who nearly bled to death after losing his arm in a circular saw accident.

Dundee-born Deacon Blue frontman Ricky Ross was instrumental in organising the fundraising event, which also featured Idlewild’s Andrew Wasylyk and Dundee singer-songwriter Gary Clark, who shot to fame as the singer in eighties band Danny Wilson.

The artists involved promised fans a unique gig featuring reinterpretations of their hit songs and they did not disappoint.

The Courier was there to bring you some of the best pictures from the night.
