There is a crowdfunder to help the Jazz Bar in Edinburgh reopen.

I've supported it. The Jazz Bar is essential for jazz in Edinburgh!

The Jazz Bar is Edinburgh, which closed suddenly, is set to reopen.

Edinburgh needs the Jazz Bar! (Though I hope when they reopen they cut down on the chatter!)

My new film, 'Primogeniture', is screening with a collection of other shorts at 6pm next Tuesday (the 4th of June) at the Cameo cinema in Edinburgh. If you're local to that, please consider going to see it. I'm really pleased with how this one has turned out.

Council moves from emergency accommodation to make way for coming to a . Shelter Scotland: "it is obviously shameful that a major event in the ‘festival city’ should have such a significant knock-on effect for people experiencing homelessness". Imho it says something about our priorities as a society that we will just push people out of the way so we can be entertained
