Happy New Year!

As is our tradition, we are bringing in the new year with the special mix of music-therapy, house party and hair-of-the-dog that is the ACOUSTIC EDINBURGH HANGOVER PARTY. If you’ve tried drinking two bottles of Irn Bru and eaten three bacon pieces but you’re still feeling fragile, then come join us for a night of hungover acoustic commiseration featuring the very best of 2006′s performers.

The Sorries' favourite jumper

As befits our fragile health at this time of year, nothing is going to be planned in advance, but I can tell you that for one night only Acoustic Edinburgh is dropping its “no covers” rule and you can expect some “imaginative” acoustic reworkings of unexpected classics! We’ve also managed to secure the public debut of one of the most highly anticipated double-acts in music history: the (soon-to-be) critically acclaimed and utterly unapologetic Corries tribute duo, THE SORRIES.

So, don your arran jumpers, brave the alarmingly fresh air and stumble down to Medina…. at the very least it’s better than orange juice and raw egg.

Hope to see you tomorrow!
Si

    Another fabulous performance from the Sorries. Much better than the original, though I was disappointed not to get a complementary Arran sweater this time as it was freezin’! Still have a cramp in my hand from holding bar chords down in sub-zero temperatures – OUCH!

    Cheers Si and Paul for a very fun evening!

    Turning Jacobite
    I think I’m turning Jacobite
    I really think so

    No sect, no croft, no whisky, no tartan
    No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it’s dark
    Everyone around me is a English soldier
    Everyone evicts me like a poor wee crofter
    Everyone

    That’s why I’m turning Jacobite
    I think I’m turning Jacobite
    I really think so….

    I’m still chuckling at the whole night…

    Cheers
