Fringe 2025 – Alright Sunshine ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nicky is here to talk about her life as an Edinburgh police officer. She’s actually waiting for a meeting with her seniors, but in the meantime she’ll fill us in on her daily schedule. She’s wanted to join the police since she was a little girl. Her Dad was in the force, you see. He kept the city safe, and now that’s what she’s doing.

Review: Panto version of A Christmas Carol is pure, glorious silliness A WITTY script, ridiculous characters and pure silliness combined to bring possibly the least traditional version of A Christmas Carol to life.

“You’re guaranteed a fun time!”

Only a few shows left in Haddington before we bring our warm-hearted adventure to Musselburgh next week!

Large painting leaning against a white wall. The painting is of a sleeping woman reclining in a red 70's style chair. Behind her  is a landscape of blue clouds, with a black horizon. There are lots of abstract shapes and bright colours. There is a second empty chair in the distance and two plants in pots around her.

I created this painting for a friend back in March. Inspired by old #Muse #AlbumCovers and 70's #Kubrick style movie posters.

Mixed media on Canvas, 130 x 240cm.

Was just reminded of this beautiful Aye Gaiety project by Linda McLean.

The Southcraig Choir led by the amazing Fiona Dailly worked with Lydia Davidson, Manjot Sumal, Ruari Barber Fleming and VanIves.

Now has 18,000 views on YouTube.

The choir is led by the amazing Fiona Dailly, the Gaiety Creative Learning lead artists on the project were Lydia Davidson and Manjot Sumal, and the video was filmed by Ruari Barber-Fleming. VanIves worked with all of the artists and the choir to create the music for this cover of You Will Be Found

Hey Linda, aye there was a team of us at Ayr Gaiety. Was one of the best projects I’ve ever worked on. They made a music video but there were people all over the community making other digital art works too: podcasts, short films, projection mapping and more. It was really beautiful!
