Happy Birthday Ma’am! – Derren Brown – The Wrigleys – Storytelling Event – The Filmhouse

There will be a gun salute today from Edinburgh Castle at 12 noon to mark the anniversary of HM Majesty the Queen’s birthday along with three cheers!

If you can still get tickets then illusionist, Derren Brown, is appearing tonight at The Pleasance Main Hall.

The House @42 is hosting an evening with The Wrigley sisters tonight. Douglas said:-“We can’t wait to meet Jennifer and Hazel Wrigley on Saturday. They are a pretty big deal in their native Orkney not just because of their virtuoso playing (Jennifer on fiddle and Hazel on guitar and piano) but because they founded a highly successful music school, venue, café and exhibition space. (Perhaps they could give us a few tips.) So if you come down to the house on Saturday night what can you expect? Heart-felt Orkadian music, Scandanavian influences, traditional jigs and reels, and the kind of “in sync” playing you only get with twins. We say, catch them now before they get too big for small, intimate venues. See you on Saturday.”

Get to the house for 8pm to see The Wrigleys (doors open at 7.30pm). Tickets are £10 each, with every penny going direct to the band. Email info@douglasinscotland.co.uk to book.
