Stooriefoot - Leonards bank

Stooriefoot are playing 14 St Leonard's Bank on Thursday 5 November, bringing a night of original storytelling and folk tunes to Edinburgh. It's a self-run evening, with the group itself taking care of the running of the night.

What that means in practice is exactly what the name suggests: a mix of stories and folk songs. The storytelling sits alongside the music rather than as a separate act, and the folk tunes are original, not covers of old standards. It's the kind of night that works best when you're sitting in on the storytelling as much as listening to the songs.

Because they're running the evening themselves, it's a direct look at what they do without any other acts on the bill. The whole thing is built around their own material, so the stories and the songs come from the same place.

The gig runs from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM, two and a half hours of storytelling and folk music, and tickets are £10.00. You'll find them at 14 St Leonard's Bank, EH8 9SQ.
