There’s a lot going on at this year’s Midfest – with arts, music and cultural activities throughout Midlothian.
The festival runs until today and to go out with a ‘bang’ a special finale has been lined-up at the historic Melville Castle.
The event tonight is due to feature the smooth and classy ‘Singing Butcher’, Iain Hunter with his band.
And returning to Midfest for a second year is the Kennedy Cupcakes performing show-stopping routines to popular hits of the Golden Era.
The jazz night is all set in the grounds of the beautiful Melville Castle – one of the county’s historical landmarks.
A spokeswoman for Midlothian Council, said: “What a fantastic way to end our second Midfest with this dazzling jazz evening. It’s sure to be a night to remember and we’d urge both locals and people further afield to get involved in this spectacular event.”
