Hot on the heels of the Public Service Broadcasting album comes the next album club choice. No great surprise to many of you I’m sure given the amazing response we’ve had to playing the album in the shop that we’ve gone with the Quickbeam album out on Monday. Suffice to say we’ve ditched that “miserable […]
Several people have emailed and come into the shop concerned about the recent spate of twitter trolls. The first incidence seemed to last no longer than 24 hours before being taken down which I should say was nothing to do with me.

After the successful trial before Christmas when people were happy just to have their photos taken with the ponies the Greater Grassmarket BID organisers have managed to get permission for pony rides in […]
Some of you may remember the Grassmarket Music Festival just over two years ago which was meant to be a trial run for something much larger given Edinburgh Council had claimed to have put in enough power for a U2 concert when they had pedestrianised the Grassmarket.
