Some of the most popular music venues in Glasgow have been given a share of a government fund to help them out during the coronavirus pandemic.
The Grassroots Music Stabilisation Fund has allocated almost £900,000 to 28 venues in the city.
The venues, which have been hit hard by closure since lockdown and no live music able to be played since the hospitality sector opened up have warned of permanent closures without support.
City centre venues including Sub Club, King Tuts, The Garage and the Clutha Bar are among those to get a share.

Audio, Berkeley Suite, Bloc+, Broadcast, and the cathouse are also included.
In the west end Cottiers and Oran Mor received a payment of up to £40,000 too.
Across Scotland the fund paid out £2.2m to venues mostly in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee.
Sandra White SNP MSP for Glasgow Kelvin which covers the city centre and west end said: “Glasgow's live music scene has taken a real beating during this pandemic, with most venues having to keep their doors closed since March.
“We all want to see music venues reopen again as soon as it’s safe to do so, but until that’s possible this funding will hand these businesses a lifeline and ease some of the financial pressures they face.”
