Gigs in Edinburgh

Siobhan Wilson @ Hidden Door, Leith Theatre, 30 May
While there's loads happening this week at Hidden Door, the night featuring Siobhan Wilson has to be one of our favourites. Wilson, recently signed to Song, by Toad releases her There Are No Saints album on 14 July. Catch her in the stunning surrounds of Leith Theatre tonight and make sure to get along early for performances from Faith Eliott and Aurora Engine.


Gig of the Week

Tinderbox Album Launch @ Hidden Door, Leith Theatre, 4 Jun

Back at the start of the year, Scotland’s premier youth music orchestra Tinderbox released their debut single Quetzalcoatl, and now they’re ready to unleash their debut album on the world. With a launch show as part of the closing night of Edinburgh’s Hidden Door festival, we reckon this is going to be one heck of a party. The collective’s self-titled debut is released on the same day and further celebrations are set to take place at Glasgow’s St Luke’s on 9 Jun.


Gigs in Glasgow

Marika Hackman @ King Tut's, 30 May
We spoke to Marika Hackman recently ahead of the release of her excellent sophomore record I'm Not Your Man – make sure to catch this rising talent tonight at King Tut's and read our interview with her here.

Marnie @ The Poetry Club, 1 Jun
Ladytron singer Helen Marnie releases her sophmore solo Marnie record on 2 Jun – Strange Words and Weird Wars – which we think "is deeply accomplished avant-pop". Read our interview with Marnie in the current issue of the mag or online here and make sure you check her out at The Poetry Club tonight.

Pixx @ Broadcast, 3 Jun
Hannah Rodgers, aka Pixx, releases her debut album The Age of Anxiety on 2 Jun. We spoke to her ahead of its release about her time at the BRIT School, and why we need to look up more – read the full interview here.
