Martha Wainwright (22/10/08, Edinburgh Picturehouse) - review

Based between a betting shop and a hearing assistance shop, the Picturehouse is filled with wood and richness. It has retained the feel of a cinema and the acoustics are great. The layout of the venue is intriguing therefore – with an upper and lower level viewing area, but retaining a fairly intimate atmosphere.

The crowd was disappointingly quiet, and the support act largely unimpressive. The trumpet playing by one half of this duo was the best part to be honest.

Edinburgh To Do List (6 Oct -12 Oct 08)

The Brigitte Beraha Trio: Jazz Bar, Chambers Street; 9 October 2015

London-based singer mingles jazz, world and Latin-influenced tunes. Jazz Services Ltd and Arts Council England-suppported gig. Funky accompaniment by trumpet/fluegelhorn and piano. Great revues of her work from The Herald, Humphrey Lyttelton and The Guardian make this one cool act to catch while it's in town!

Shakespeare for Schools Festival: Brunton theatre, Edinburgh; 7 October 1900

Credit Crunch Hits Edinburgh Hogmanay

Christmas and Hogmanay start earlier every year! You can get your Edinburgh Hogmanay tickets from Friday this week (October 3) - but there's been a wee change. The price of the tickets has doubled from £5 to £10 for 2008.

Opinions are split. Is this a cunning marketing ruse to make the event seem more desirable and mark it out from other similar events in Dundee, Stirling, Glasgow and Aberdeen?

Edinburgh To Do List (29 Sept - 5 Oct)

Cherry Blossom: 24 September–11 October; Traverse Theatre.

A new production by homegrown talent, Scottish writer Catherine Grosvenor. Exploring identity, migration and what this means for 21st-century Europe, this multi-media piece should be an eye-opening performance.

Women on Top

Review of Women in Harmony, 21 August 2008

There’s a sign at an Edinburgh pub called The Rule which says ‘Live Music – no mikes, no amps’. It could say ‘no talent either’ – it’s an amateur’s night. But no fears on that front for this evening at the St Bride’s Centre. Karine Polwart, Annie Grace and Corinna Hewat make traditional music both touching and inspiring.

Shooglenifty Rock the Tent

Review of Shooglenifty, Spiegeltent, Saturday 23 August 2008. Did you know that Spiegel means mirror in German? It's like being surrounded by a glitterball. Well sort of. For matching performers and venues, this gig couldn’t have done much better. Both shone and gave you something to fall in love with....
