North & Ness — the Highlands, from the ground up
Week of 14–20 September 2026

This Week in the Highlands: 14–20 Sep

Two picks this week and both land on the same night, so Friday's the one to plan around if you're after live music. Rhythmnreel at Highland Farm Cafe looks like the mellower option, while Cage The Ox at Tooth & Claw is the one for anyone wanting a bit more volume. Slim pickings otherwise, but at least the choice is clear.

    Highland Farm After Dark: Rhythmnreel

    Music

    Highland Farm Cafe

    An after-dark session at a farm cafe is a properly local way to catch live music, with Rhythmnreel's folk-inflected sound suiting the setting down to the ground. Good one for anyone who prefers a night out that doesn't feel like a big city gig.

    Cage The Ox - Tooth & Claw, Inverness

    Music

    The Tooth And Claw

    Tooth & Claw's small stage is built for exactly this kind of loud, riff-driven night, and Cage The Ox should bring the energy to match. Get there early if you want a decent spot near the front.
