It’s a new storage container that will enable us to expand our borrowing and skill-sharing services across Edinburgh.
This isn’t just any ordinary container, though: We purchased it from our pals at Move On Wood Recycling, giving their former wood storage container a new lease of life.
Remember when we hosted our van-tastic (sorry) Con-VAN-tion at the Pitt Market last year? Well, we’ve been plotting behind the scenes ever since, and we’re buzzing about having a base in such a vibrant spot.
The excitement doesn’t stop either, because this new extra space we’re now also accepting tool donations again! Got tools in good working order gathering dust?
We’d love to give them a new life helping neighbours across the city.
Tinderbox Collective and Granton Youth new launch youth-powered festival, showcasing the city’s most exciting emerging artists at The Pitt Granton on World Music Day.
The Tinderbox Collective and Granton Youth come together to ignite Granton with the NxNW All-Dayer at The Pitt – a festival-style celebration of Edinburgh’s thriving youth music scene.
Taking place on World Music Day, 21st June 2025, this packed one-day event will showcase nine exceptional young acts, all aged between 15-21, across indie rock, folk, alt-pop and more, all united by their development through Tinderbox and Granton Youth’s transformative Mixtape programme.
Following multiple sold-out NxNW nights at Leith Depot and The Mash House, this All-Dayer version expands the format to meet overwhelming demand, offering both established followers and new audiences the chance to discover Scotland’s most exciting emerging artists in one electrifying location.
The Lineup: A Showcase of Edinburgh’s Rising Stars
The lineup features an electrifying mix of emerging talent, each with their own unique story. Kicking off the day at 3:15 PM is Kieran Crosbie, a singer-songwriter whose journey into music began through Tinderbox’s hospital outreach programme. Later in the day, The Citrines take the stage, led by 16-year-old Abi, whose band are fast becoming a staple of Edinburgh’s grassroots scene.
The evening crescendos with two acts fresh from Hit The Road, Scotland’s national youth music tour: Ace & All The Other Animals and Low Tide, whose recent tour together has cemented their reputation as ones to watch. Edinburgh-born singer songwriter Lewis McLaughlin and psychedelic pop duo Logan’s Close also join the bill in support of the day.
The lineup for the day spans alt-rock to intimate folk, with the following performances:
For some, like Kieran, getting involved with Tinderbox has been hugely impactful, offering opportunities they would not have found elsewhere: “I started playing guitar at 12 years old and got involved with Tinderbox through my guitar teacher.
“From that I joined Tinderbox’s ‘Sparks’ project and played at Dynamic Earth performing a collaborative piece of music we had been working on.
“I’m really looking forward to playing the NxNW All Dayer because its such a nice venue and the atmosphere at NxNW is always amazing!”
For others, like The Citrines, working with Tinderbox has provided the launchpad for their first major gigs and recordings.
Reflecting on her experience with Tinderbox, Lead singer of The Citrines, Abi said: “The first gig we played that I was really properly proud of was the NxNW at the Mash House last year.
“I was buzzing when I got off that stage. It’s helped us branch out, meet other musicians, and build our confidence performing.
Discussing the Pitt All Dayer further, Abi added: “This line-up is amazing – rock music, folk music, rap – and so many talented people I know through Mixtape and Tinderbox. It’s going to be such a good day in such a cool venue.”
The event builds on the growing success of Tinderbox’s NxNW (North by Northwest) series, a community-rooted platform for young artists that champions creativity, collaboration and the power of live performance.
The NxNW All Dayer is a rare chance to experience the future of Scottish music in its rawest, most exciting form.
