We were all there to give solidarity and support to the survivors, their friends and families of the Pulse shootings on 12 June. We appeared along with Edinburgh Gay Men’s Choir and heard speakers as diverse as the First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, the Leader of the Scottish Conservatives and MSP for Central Edinburgh, Ruth Davidson and Louise Thomas, owner of the Street bar and speakers from Stonewall Scotland, Equality Network and Unite Against Fascism Edinburgh.

Several members of the choir were interviewed for TV afterwards which was broadcast live to the revellers.

After our successful opening gig at the The Edinburgh International Book Festival Event in August we were invited again to part in an event at Waterstones in George Street on Tuesday 24 November. We sang for a small but very enthusiastic crowd on the stairs at in the bookshop and were plied with Espresso Martinis afterwards. A memorable evening.

LBGT Health and Wellbeing invited us to take part in their annual Winter Concert and Sunday 6 December at Walpole Hall, Chester Street. The afternoon included a varied range of music, including a turn by Edinburgh Gay Men’s Chorus. Warming fun on a cold winter’s day.
