HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED
Flagship Edinburgh event – We’re organising an event in the city centre on the day and are looking for groups to perform. We’re working on the details but get in touch if you’re interested.
Organise an event – if you’d like to organise your own event, whether it be in a venue you use regularly, or in a new space such as your local town square, shopping centre or pub, you can register it on the website. Events can range from concerts and gigs to open rehearsals and participatory workshops.
Sign up as a musician – maybe you’re a band, singer or choir who would like to take part but have nowhere to perform. Register on our website and local venues can get in touch, or look into venues in your locality and contact them directly.
Sign up as a venue – if you’d like to host an event in a space that you own or manage, you can register your venue on the website then search for musicians in your area who are looking for somewhere to perform.
