Edinburgh Mela opening night
I’ll be taking photos at the Edinburgh Mela this weekend. I started off at the Leith Links site for the opening ceremony this evening. What a lovely surprise to find that Mairi and Dave were due to be playing!

Heeliegoleerie
A couple of photos from a trip to Edinburgh’s Bongo Club last week to take photos for the fabulous ceilidh band Heeliegoleerie. They were playing for one of the regular Ceilidh Club ceilidhs.
There was a whole load of energy in that room!
Here’s Heeliegoleerie:
