To book, email [email protected]***WELCOME to the online home of Green Wedge Edinburgh - a new initiative from the Edinburgh branch of the Scottish Green Party. The plan is to hold a series of regular gigs (roughly two months apart) featuring local bands who are sympathetic to the cause. Emphasis is on the LOCAL bit - none of yer Live Earth 'let's combat global warming by flying in acts from the other side of the world' nonsense here. The inaugural event at the Lot on 5 October featured barnstorming sets from ballboy and Action Group and was a total sell-out, raising £445. Check back soon to see photos from the night. Details of the next event will be posted here shortly... For more info about the Scottish Greens, visit www.scottishgreenparty.co.uk
