Guid Crack: On the Edge
with David Hughes
(Fri 27 Mar: 7:30pm)
Along the line where the walls of old Edinburgh once separated the city from the world beyond, in the convivial warmth of the Waverley Bar we will explore the boundaries, walk the line between reality and fiction, wild and domestic, this world and the next... For it is at the edges of things that magic stirs, challenge beckons and change awaits.
Come ye edge dwellers and bring along your stories, songs and offerings that sit on the ragged fringes. Join guest storyteller David Hughes for another fun and friendly session of Edinburgh’s monthly storytelling club held upstairs in the Waverley Bar.
