All the way from Cardiff: Affinity Choir in concert

And you thought Wales only did male voice choirs?

Join us as we trade one Celtic Capital for another! Affinity Female Voice Choir, the largest female-only choir in South Wales, is bringing to Edinburgh a concert packed full of the best songs from their repertoire over the last 5 years that you won’t want to miss!

With show hits from Les Miserables, Cats and Hairspray, beautiful choral favourites by John Rutter and Eric Whitacre and, of course, some of the fabulous songs of both our great countries, we’re sure there’s something for everyone in this afternoon delight.

The 40-strong choir will come to you direct from Edinburgh Castle where they will perform the previous day, and with experience of performing in some of the most prestigious venues in Wales (and on BBC television!) you are promised a high-quality showcase event.

If you think only Male Voice Choirs from Wales can hit the heights then think again as these ladies know how to entertain!

Conducted by Diane Wright and accompanied by Benjamin Teague.

D Mains Pipe Band charity single makes castle rock!

A young local pipe band are doing their bit to bring Scottish traditional music to a wider audience by releasing their own version of Ed Sheeran’s Castle on the Hill. Davidson’s Mains & District Pipe Band first played the chart-topping hit in the freestyle category of the Scottish Schools Championship – and the performance attracted so many hits on Facebook that the band decided, with Sheeran’s approval, to record his song in the studio and raise money for charity.

Ama-zing Harmonies at West Pilton Neighbourhood Centre

Monday 26th June, 6 – 7pm

Amaz-ing Harmonies is an initiative to bring the people of my neighbourhood together through songs and food where all participate.
We started in March and have grown to around 30 people per evening. We meet on the last Monday of every month from 6pm to 7pm.
It gives us the opportunity to network and know our neighbours. This makes us love each other and break barriers of silence, culture and religion as we are all united through music. I chose music to bring us together because I am a musician myself. Music relaxes, refreshes and takes away anxiety. It’s an antidote to depression also.
If you need more information please don’t hesitate to contact me. Thank you
