Music in Edinburgh this week
Tonight at The Soundhouse at The Traverse the Bevvy Sisters put on their Christmas Show.
After last year’s SELL OUT Xmas show, The Bevvy Sisters return for a repeat run of the fun at The Traverse once again.
The evening will be introduced by the regular band of Heather Macleod, Gina Rae, Cera Impala and David Donnelly.
They will then ramp up the action by adding The Bad Boys, truly kicking off the festive season in the way that only The Bevvy Sisters can do.
