22 Jul 08 - 12:20 PM (#2395189) Subject: RE: Music in Edinburgh From: GUEST,Rob the Roadie I will second that> Pick up a copy of Whats on probably available at The Royal Oak .It tells of all kinds of music all around the area. Oh yes Sandy Bells is also a must. Pity you miss the Leith Folk club night. Big acts appear at the Pleasance. |

29 Jul 08 - 09:57 AM (#2400267) Subject: RE: Music in Edinburgh From: Cats So we got there and found Runrig were playing at the castle in a sell out concert. We had 3 options... sit in out hotel room which overlooked the castle just in case we could hear, or sit in the Grassmarket at the bottom of the castle in case we could hear or go to the Royal Oak. We are so glad we went to the Royal Oak, downstairs bar. Eveyone was incredibly friendly and we joined in a really good song session. Thanks to everyone there. If you are in Edinburgh, don't miss it. |

29 Jul 08 - 08:36 PM (#2400861) Subject: RE: Music in Edinburgh From: Tattie Bogle Might have seen you then: I was at the Runrig concert, then came back to the Royal Oak afterwards! Didn't come downstairs until late on, after upstairs got a bit too noisy! The Royal Oak festival run has just started now, something great on every night as well as the usual sessions. Any other visitors to Edinburgh Fringe, also check out the "Acoustic Music Centre" at St Bride's Centre, off Dalry Rd: not quite in the centre but on a good few bus routes. (44, 4, 25, and several others) |

While there visit Blackfriars Bobby and see if there's owt on at the theatre over the road - Brilliant little corner once you get up the hill:-) Enjoy D. |

(Typing this at an internet cafe in Gyimes, Transylvania, with five people having a gardon workshop in the same room, with a whistle player leading with the tune. The floor is rattling). |
