Look around you. Nearly everything you can see began with a drawing. Your clothes? Fashion illustration. That radiator? Product design. The building around you was an architectural sketch. Those drawings would not have been about perfectly replicating something, because that something did not yet exist. I believe that drawing is for everyone because it is a way to imagine. Come along an learn some of the Traditional Drawing Skills relating to Character Design alongside the skill of Drawing from your Imagination. We'll play drawing games together in the ever-inspiring exhibitions at the National Musuem of Scotland and learn tricks to help each of us conceptualise and create our own character. I'm Hannah Kelly, an Edinburgh-based artist and art educator - please know you're ever so welcome whatever your confidence level with drawing. My tours are about building creative courage and laughing together and seeing things afresh. This drawing tour is relaxed and playful, suited to teens as well as adults. All materials will be provided. www.hannahkelly.co.uk @hannahkellyart Information Source: Hannah Kelly | eventbrite

We are looking forward to being joined by James Yorkston, on Thursday 6th March at 7pm, as he chats to Alistair Braidwood about his unsettling, deeply atmospheric noir set in the remote Scottish Highlands, Tommy the Bruce. Meet Tommy Bruce, an anti-hero as unlike his historical namesake as could be imagined - very nearly spineless and not at all the man to save himself, until you push him too far... Tommy Bruce is washed-up in a ramshackle hotel inherited from dead parents in the armpit of Perthshire. Saddled with debt, grotty premises that are falling down around him and a crippling loneliness, Tommy is slowly but determinedly drinking himself and his business out of existence. Until one day, out of the blue, Fiona McLean blows into Tommy's life and the hotel. With the light she brings, Tommy's fortunes might just be turning around. But in her wake has also slipped in darkness - names and faces from the past who mean Tommy no goodwill at all, criminal forces that threaten to ruin him, the hotel and what little happiness he's managed, haplessly, to cobble together. - Doors: 6.30pm, event starts: 7pm, please arrive early to secure a good seat. Tickets are £3and there is a Ticket & Book option which includes a signed copy of Tommy the Bruce. The bookshop has level access, events are seated and speakers use microphones.

Free Entry with suggested donations at the event. Self-taught pianist and composer Daniel Inzani has been a pivotal figure on the Bristol alternative music scene for more than a decade. He leads a neoclassical chamber quartet Spindle Ensemble, co-curates Hidden Notes Festivalin Stroud, and he’s worked with a baffling array of outfits, playing Ethiopian funk, Indonesian gamelan, rocksteady, 1950s-style exotica and post rock, as well as working closely with fellow maverick musicians Alabaster dePlume and Cosmo Sheldrake. His assorted projects have led to a prolific discography, performances worldwide and a singular compositional voice; born from extensive experimentation with live ensembles and his idiosyncratic approach to music theory, informed by his studies of mathematics and passion for impressionist era music. After 2 decades of recording, touring and composing as a collaborator and band leader, he gathered a trusted set of skilled improvisers and virtuoso players to record his first major solo release Selected Worlds, exploring the very different sides to his musical personality across 3 contrasting but connected vinyl LPs. The critically acclaimed triple album was co-released by Hidden Notes Records and Tardigrade Records in September 2024, receiving a 5 star review in The Guardian where it was listed as the contemporary album of the month.

In Georgian Edinburgh, women’s contributions to music and dance—whether as composers, performers, teachers or patrons were often overshadowed, yet their influence was undeniable. Join Alena Shmakova and Frances Scott as they explore the pioneering women of Enlightenment Scotland’s performing arts scene—from the Lady Directresses of Dance Assemblies to the musicians and dancers who helped shape Edinburgh’s cultural landscape. Discover the dances once performed and taught by Marianne Violante and Sofia Parker, as well as the music by talented amateurs like Magdalene Stirling or professionals as Sophia Dussek, whose compositions once filled the city’s salons and concert halls. Through music and dance, this lecture-recital brings to light the often-overlooked women who helped shape Scotland’s artistic legacy. The programme is made possible through funding by the University of the Highlands and Islands Student Development Fund, funded by REC, the Early Dance Circle and support by the European Association for Dance History. Alena Shmakova has studied historical dance since 2006, training with the Historical Dance Society, Nordic Baroque Dancers, and other practitioners. Since 2013, she has taught historical dance in Edinburgh, performing at venues such as Holyrood Palace, Stirling Castle, and Early Dance Festivals. As a researcher, she has received funding to study female patronage in Scotland and the early 19th-century Strathspey style, presenting her work at major dance history conferences. Women in Dance in Scotland, 1500–1800 is part of her research for an MLitt in History at the University of the Highlands and Islands. Alena also teaches historical dance and dance history through the Edinburgh Adult Education programme. Frances Scott was trained at the Royal Northern College of Music as a pianist before joining the music staff of Scottish Ballet. She then moved to Covent Garden as a pianist with the Royal Ballet Company. Fortunate enough to own a harpsichord, she also worked with groups such as Kist o’ Music and Bruntsfield Baroque, giving concerts in St Cecilia’s Hall and the Georgian House. Her interests include Scottish music in the 18th century and female composers and performers. Information Source: St Cecilia's Hall, The University of Edinburgh | eventbrite
