Acoustic Edinburgh – Tue 2nd Feb – Andy Tucker and the Scattered Family headline

After the delicious insanity of our Comedy Covers night last month, we mustn’t forget that Acoustic Edinburgh isn’t normally about who can make the most amusing use of a wind instrument (I’m looking at you Paul, Kate and Tom…). Most of the year, our aim is to provide an intimate stage for the very best in original music.

So, it’s with some excitement that we’re welcoming back and old friend who I don’t think has played Acoustic Edinburgh since the days of the late lamented Dead Beat Club. Andy Tucker will be headlining with his ridiculously talented musical collective, the Scattered Family. It’s entirely proper that last year, Andy joined such luminaries as Norman Blake, Roddy Woomble and King Creosote by winning the prestigious Burnsong writing residency. Expect to hear lots of excellent material from his recently completed second album!

Other highlights of the night will be an unplugged set from the eclectic Miasma, returns to Medina from two of our favourite charismatic performers: Rob Sproul-Cran and Hamish Campbell, and an opening set from my ever popular co-organiser and master compere, Paul Gilbody.

As ever, doors open sometime between 8.30 and 9.00 and entry is completely, utterly and ludicrously FREE!

See you there,

Si
