Festival Lights - The Songs of Nick Keir
The Quiggs with Sangsters and Dick Gaughan
Nick Keir, the Edinburgh folksinger and songwriter, left us too early in 2013 however he left a great legacy of his own lovely songs. At tonight's concert some of his folk friends will gather in his memory to sing Nick's songs - including Dick Gaughan, Sangsters and The Quiggs. The whole night is being produced by Nick's best mate, Alastair. All the proceeds from what promises to be a terrific show will be donated to Cancer Research.

Harry Cullen
Harry has been a stalwart of the Edinburgh folk scene since the early 70's and as a member of the Garvies, Town Choice and the Kinsmen he performed throughout Scotland. Eventually Harry decided to come off the road and get a 'proper job' so some may know him better as the 'friendly' landlord of the Oxford Bar. There he dispenses the odd insult but loves entertaining his regulars and visitors, with spontaneous Monday afternoon jamming sessions. So he's never really stopped singing and today his live performances are a great combination of traditional and contemporary music.
