Shout out to the train manager on the @lner.co.uk 12 noon train from Edinburgh to London Kings Cross. We got stuck behind a broken down train, are running 25 mins late, and he is checking everyone’s connections, arranging for trains to wait, generally doing a good job. I wish I wasn’t so amazed…

Thank YOU. The warehouse is great for music and theatre - we do as much as we can.
Lovely review of a lovely thing
Seeing if Bluesky can work like the now dreaded metagram - here is a pic of an extremely nondescript wonderfully scented plant that knocked me for six in Princes Street Gardens yesterday. Too trivial for Bluesky? Probably.
I’m so looking forward to this, having seen it in development last year, also @fruitmarket.bsky.social . It’s a gloriously melancholy, miserable, uplifting thing that’s perfect for late January. Especially this year….
Looking forward to being in conversation with Karla Black about Barry Le Va @fruitmarket.bsky.social tonight - 6.30pm. If in Edinburgh, do come along (it’s free). If not, we’ll record it and put it up on our website as soon as we can.
Writers! Please apply - we’re so excited at the thought of welcoming a writer into the team and programme.
Listening to review of Lockerbie on Front Row talking about how little art has addressed the tragedy. Reminded of Nathan Coley’s brilliant work as artist observer at the trial. We showed his Witness Box at Fruitmarket in 2004.
TONIGHT: Book Launch - Dig: An Excavation of Mine by artist Shelagh Atkinson. Free.
The artist will be in conversation with the book’s designer, James Brook, discussing artist’s archives and legacies, working in collaboration, and the book as archive. Book here:

Good words from Barry Le Va for 1st post here:
‘I draw most of the time. I draw wherever I am. I draw to be alone with myself. I draw to discover and clarify my thoughts. I draw to concentrate on my thoughts. I draw to visualise my thoughts. I draw to convince myself my thoughts are worth pursuing’
