May 2025 - Live music continues to be exciting and fun in and around Edinburgh.

There are lots of fine sessions and musical events in the City of Edinburgh, and further afield, to attend and enjoy.

And fun ceilidh dances with The Occasionals too - all new dates are listed here below.

There are regular traditional music & song sessions in Edinburgh in local bar venues - Sandy Bells, The Black Cat, Captain’s Bar, The Royal Oak and, in particular, The Waverley Bar, on Sunday afternoons, (3pm to 6pm) where I can often be found playing music with fiddle maestro John Martin, top Scots singer George Duff, ace piper Mike Katz and others.

There are no performances by The Occasionals at present - as of 1st May 2025 - please check back again.
