It was set to celebrate its 25th anniversary this year with a star-studded line-up that included Robert Plant and Texas.

But now the worldrenowned Hebridean Celtic Festival has found a way for the show to go on.

It has announced an online programme of short film sessions, which will see a variety of leading musical artists and creatives producing new work later this month.

Artists involved include singer Julie Fowlis and Rory Macdonald of Runrig.

Festival director Caroline Maclennan said: “Our focus was to contract with artists and other creatives from the Hebrides to produce new, high quality, engaging online content to reach out to our global audience.”
