The musicians of the Isle of Wight demonstrated their support for the people of Ukraine with a day of singing and playing at Quay Arts on Sunday.
From jazz to folk, blues to Afro-beat, there was something for everyone at the day-long Music for Ukraine session.
So far, more than £2,500 has been raised for the East Cowes-based MAD-Aid charity that is supporting the people of Ukraine both at home and here on the Island.

Event organiser Jim Thorn said: "Donations are continuing but MAD-Aid raised over £2,500 on the day itself which was excellent.
"This now makes a total of £8,000 raised by Music for Ukraine in 2022 and 2023 in three days of Isle of Wight music.
"Quay Arts was very busy from 11am onwards and all acts had good sized audiences.
"There was a wonderful convivial atmosphere between audience and musicians, with a number of musicians joining in with other bands.
"I am very grateful to everyone who gave up their spare time to play and support the event.
"Special thanks to John Titley and Steve Smith who helped with the sound engineering.
