Tragic Inverness DJ to be remembered at tribute night

Inverness DJ Ross Lyall

The DJ partner of a young Inverness man who died from type one diabetes will play a tribute to him at the city’s biggest music venue next month.

Filth DJ Ross Lyall was just 30 years old when he died in March last year after spending five days in intensive care.

He was described by family as a “treasured” son and brother, and as “one in a million” by friends.

Mr Lyall’s former DJ partner Andrew McGibbon will now play a special set at The Ironworks venue on March 25 in memory of his friend – and tickets go on sale tomorrow.

The announcement – which was welcomed by hundreds of nline followers – was made this week on the duo’s social media page.

The pair were regulars at the Academy Street venue and performed with lengendary DJ Green Velvet in 2012 and 2015.

Filth DJs also supported the likes of Paul Van Dyk, Zane Lowe, Heidi and 2manydjs in their time together.

The Ironworks team last year said they were “devastated” by the loss of a “dear friend” who they said was a real champion of the venue and wider club scene in Inverness and beyond.”

Just days before the tragedy, Mr Lyall had posted online about how much he was looking forward to playing at the Groove Cairngorm music festival, as part of the well known double act.

And at last year’s Groove Loch Ness festival Andrew McGibbon, his Filth DJ partner, played a special 20-minute set on the main stage in memory of his friend.

It evoked plenty of sad memories, but also an appreciation of what the young man had achieved during his fight with the illness

The lifelong Caley Thistle fan was diagnosed when he was 15 and raised more than £25,000 in 2015 for Diabetes UK – after walking the Great Wall of China with friends – in recognition of the care he received from the NHS.

In September last year, 14 members of his family also took part in the annual 5k and 10k races as part of the Loch Ness Marathon and Festival of Running, in a bid to raise awareness, funds and continue Ross’s legacy.
