At Bridgend Farmhouse on Saturday
The Big Open Mic takes place on Saturday from 2-10pm with the café open from 11-4pm and a BBQ at 5pm. You can choose your slot and then grab the mic and sing or play whichever instrument you have to hand to celebrate Edinburgh TradFest which runs until Monday.

Ring for The King
A church near you may be ringing for The King on Saturday as he is getting ready to go to Westminster for the Coronation.
St Mary’s Cathedral on Palmerston Place will definitely be ringing their bells from 9.30am until 11am. We are sure that the bellringers at St Cuthbert’s on King’s Stables Road will set their bells pealing but there is little news about where and when other campanologists will be doing their thing.
If you know of any then do share the news with us in the comments below.
