One of Scotland's longest-running music festivals is to be piped into thousands of homes by a radio station.
The Glasgow International Piping Festival begins today with dozens of performances taking place across the city until the weekend.
Celtic Music Radio 95 FM is to broadcast Piping Live! from the National Piping Centre each night as a range of well-known acts take to the main stage.
The festival club begins tonight at 10pm and will follow each evening until Friday.
There will be with full coverage on every evening on the station.
Performances from Andy May, Julien Cartonnet, Stefce Stojkovski and The Kyle Warren Band are expected throughout the week as the festival aims to celebrate the Homecoming 2014 event in style.
Other displays will also be taking place across the city before the World Pipe Band Championship Finals at Glasgow Green on Saturday.
Tickets for the Piping Live! festival club are £5 for each night.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
