I remember Sandy Bells from the late 70's -- enticing, but not a place a single woman felt comfortable in alone. At least, I didn't. Maybe it's changed by now. Thanks much for the references-- best, Kim |

Singers and instrumentalists and listeners welcome. Tattie Bogle |

16 Sep 03 - 08:33 PM (#1020307) Subject: RE: trad music venues in Edinburgh From: Tattie Bogle Oh and I just got the listings for Edinburgh Folk Club's new season: at the Pleasance on Weds evenings. They've got some real legends of Scottish Folk on in late October, the MacCalmans on the 22nd (sadly without Derek Moffat any more), and Archie Fisher on the 29th. Hope to see you at any of the above. Tattie B |

18 Sep 03 - 08:14 PM (#1021757) Subject: RE: trad music venues in Edinburgh From: GUEST,Bill from Wales I have been going to Edinburgh frequently for years.(five times this year) Try the Ensign Ewart on the Royal Mile just below the castle or the Royal Oak in Infirmary Street just off the Bridges. I think the Royal Oak has its own web site. All the best in Edinburgh Bill |

19 Sep 03 - 02:46 PM (#1021967) Subject: RE: trad music venues in Edinburgh From: friskett Ah yes, the Ensign Ewart. Would you believe that when I lived in Edinburgh 20 years ago, I lived about five stories up directly over the Ensign Ewart? (University post-grad housing). Thanks for the tips -- k. |
