Farafina!
Association Faso Djarabi
An exciting, colourful show from Burkina Faso bursting with the traditional dance and music of the Madinka people of West Africa, the descendants of the 13th century Mali Empire. With traditional, authentic instruments and traditional costumes, the dancers whirl through dynamic, spirited, exuberant arm, foot-stomping and hip-gyrating body movements driven on by the powerful and rhythmic drums. Traditionally, Mandinka is an oral society where mythologies, history and knowledge are verbally transmitted from generation to generation. So it is with dances ... The Little Queens, All In Circles, The Lovers Under The Ash Trees. Yes! This is Farafina, the show!

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.
