Henry's Cellar

One of the city's few low-cost hire venues, Henry's attracts a diverse and somewhat raggle-taggle bunch of musicians you wouldn’t see in more conventional haunts. Just to be clear, this is a good thing. The stage is a small square wedged into the back corner with two pillars dividing the floor. One pillar stands on the outside corner of the stage, obstructing the view of at least one person in any band with more than three members. Strangely, that's what's good about Henry's. Not only does it offer diverse gigs and clubs, a modest door charge and decent drink prices, it's got that community vibe where you can talk to strangers without feeling creepy or getting your head kicked in. Nice.

I loved Rude, great tunes, a breath of fresh air for Edinburgh's usual boring reggae dub soundsystem nights! Will be back guys, keep up the good work. Sx
