We all had an amazing night and the music was excellent! The only thing we would have change is the power of the speakers, it could have been a bit louder.

Review of Eddi Reader

Partner and I arrived 7pm. Seats were most uncomfortable and squashed together. After 8pm before first warm up act on. Second warm up on nearly 9.00pm. Neither act particularly endearing. Eddi on approx 9.30pm. Bums numb by this time. Eddi's gig was well worth coming for but we were really disappointed it was such a late start and seating was so crap for the length of time we were seated. Venue is work in progress we presume.

The atmosphere was spoilt be people standing at the bar chatting while artist was performing. The bar is situated in the same room where the concert took place

Review of Eddi Reader

Great venue. The only issue was the seating as it was so uncomfortable. Great atmosphere and very central. Supporting acts were great fun. Eddie is as good today as she was years ago. A lovely, genuine and warm soul. Will def make a point of going to another concert in the future. Happy New Year

Review of Eddi Reader

Excellent performance by wonderful and talented musicians, including thoroughly entertaining banter from Eddi throughout. Venue was lovely and staff friendly, but more than a little cramped on this occasion.

Review of Eddi Reader

Eddi was fantastic and the supporting acts good. The venue was ok but chairs packed too close together.

Review of Eddi Reader

Her voice was amazing despite recent bronchitis. Transport of delight from new songs ,old favourites ,love song written by her hubby to Rabby Burns . Band were ace . The venue was intimate but squashed as many chairs in as possible .Bar prices well ...£11 for a pint of lager and a bottle of cider ( only filled my plastic cup then bartender disposed of the rest of the bottle .

First time in this intimate venue. Capacity under 200 all seated. Eddi and band were on terrific form and the sound man did a great job. Nice selection of beers reasonably priced. A grand night out

Didn’t like waiting in cold for late back-up artist. We had crossed Edinburgh too but knew
to avoid Princess Street crowd.
Love Eddi I & her music.
