URGENT UPDATE: change of session venues
Unfortunately, for reasons outwith our control we have had to change session venue for Friday and Saturday at very short notice and have had to make alternative arrangements. Other parts of the weekend are unaffected.
Both bars are on main bus routes and the Mercat is within walking distance of Haymarket Station and tram stops
Friday night session from 7.30pm until late
Boda Bar
229 Leith Walk
Edinburgh, EH6 8NY
Phone: 0131 553 59 00
A very small bar, with some space reserved for us at the back, round the corner.
Saturday night session 8pm until late
Mercat Bar and Kitchen
28 West Maitland Street, Edinburgh EH12 5DX
Tel: 0131 225 8716
https://mercatbar.co.uk/
We have a room booked downstairs.
Both web sites have maps and they should be straightforward to find, although they both have small shop fronts. Boda Bar is on a corner and Mercat Bar is near a corner. Parking is easier around Boda Bar, but it is possible to park not too far away from the Mercat.

Really looking forward to this weekend, but is there any music available in advance?
Sorry to be a wimp, but sight-reading was never my forte and learning by ear is OK on pipes but may not be so easy on whistle!
Thanks Alan. Music sent out to everyone is now to be found in the resources section of the website.
Sending out music in advance is still being trialed, but it looks like we will be continuing with it for the foreseeable future.
