One week to go
There is just one week left to see Witches in Word, Not Deed at Central Library. The last day to visit the exhibition is Thursday 30 November. Pick up an exhibition leaflet at the library entrance and follow the trail map marking the stories of these Scottish women accused of witchcraft under the Witchcraft Act of 1563.
The exhibition is a memorial to the 4,000 people who were prosecuted wrongly for witchcraft in Scotland. Most were women and the display asks the viewer to remember the lives of the victims “with dignity and compassion”.

All that Jazz
The Scottish Jazz Weekend begins tomorrow with three days of music celebrating the cream of Scottish jazz, from established names to the stars of the future. Some of the events have just a handful of tickets left.
Check out the programme on the website. Here are a couple of suggestions for Friday night:
Ewan Hastie Trio
Friday 24 November, 6pm | St Bride’s Centre
“The best bass soloist I’ve heard at his age – ever!” – that’s how Tommy Smith describes Ewan Hastie. He is fast making his mark on the UK music scene, becoming the first Scot to win the BBC Young Jazz Musician last year. Hastie’s skills in jazz improvisation and creativity are balanced by the mastery of Tom Gibb’s touch and melodic sensibility on piano and supported by the wizardry of Stephen Henderson’s versatility on drums, creating a modern and mature sound.
Colin Steele: Joni Mitchell | Ben Shankland & Lucy-Anne Daniels
Friday 24 November, 9pm | St Bride’s Centre
Acclaimed trumpeter Colin Steele returns with his much-loved homage to Joni Mitchell. The legendary singer/songwriter celebrates her 80th birthday in November, so now is the perfect time to revisit these magnificent interpretations of her greatest hits.
Opening the evening, pianist Ben Shankland and singer Lucy-Anne Daniels perform music influenced by traditional folk song, bound together by improvisation and storytelling.
