For the past three nights there has been LOUD construction work in Meadowbank Retail Park, EH7, carried out by READY CONSTRUCTION who were sub-contracted by LUDDONS with permission from The City of Edinburgh Council. Despite numerous complaints to Police Scotland the noise continues. Acceptable?
I don't tweet much these days, but I'm co-hosting a presentation of shorts by treebenchfilms in the Function Room of the Outhouse pub in Edinburgh. I've been peripherally involved with this company as a writer etc, and can't wait to present this evening: eventbrite.co.uk/e/short-film-n…
It's not my favourite vocal ensemble by quite a long shot, but as the only full-time professional choir in the UK it's vital that the BBC doesn't scrap (and sack) its Singers. What a total disgrace. Stop the planned closure of the BBC Singers chng.it/MRPS6nPY via Change.org UK
Went to an encouraging Public Meeting on the future of our city's most important cinema, Filmhouse There's a good chance they'll be able to re-open in the same building. But they need MONEY. We were all encouraged to be AMBASSADORS for the New Filmhouse. crowdfunder.co.uk/p/filmhouse-op…
Curious to think... had Scotland won independence, would Westminster have stepped in to push the Save The Filmhouse campaign across the finishing line and help save Edinburgh's staunchly independent cinema? scotsman.com/whats-on/arts-… That said, major credit goes to the former staff.
Anyone who knows me well enough will share my delight at having my work exhibited in a PHONE BOX! As part of ArtWalk Porty a selection of my '26 Trolleys in Lockdown' will be installed in Porty Light Box this week. Well, I do like to be beside the seaside! instagram.com/p/C_ONdUxMfug/…
Must say I'm chuffed to have my photos in a PHONE BOX! After many years of photographing phone boxes, my first exhibition in one is pictures/sestudes of shopping trolleys, as part of ArtWalk Porty artwalkporty.co.uk/art-walk-porty… See them by day or by night...
2nd weekend of ArtWalk Porty, and a delight to see my work turn from darkness to light (inside the box) while Autumn turns light to darkness (thinking outside the box.) There's more background in this window: climb to the treetop, peek through the turret! linktr.ee/j.a.suth
If I were to say we'd be in the same situation today as we were eight years ago, you'd say I was off my trolley. Here's a blog titled so, along with a piece written eight years ago about a President who never should have been and yet, somehow, is again... throughtheturretwindow.blogspot.com/2024/09/off-hi…
