Baby Tiger announces new venue in Edinburgh, opening Friday 7th October
Edinburgh music promoter Baby Tiger may have moved out of their premises of 4 years - a west-end backpackers' hostel - but any tears shed will be ones of joy as the half-dozen strong collective of music lovers unveil their new venue. Based on West Register Street - conveniently situated for Waverley Station - the custom-built music room named The Den (actually located within the Cafe Royal) is set to provide a much-needed addition to the capital's haphazard set of gig venues, and put back on track an unbroken tradition of weekend shows, which has seen live music in the Liquid Room, Cabaret Voltaire, The Bongo Club, Henry's Cellar, & the late lamented Edinburgh Venue, as well as their regular home in The Swamp Bar.
The new room opens for business with Porch Song Anthology - the band formed by former members of Scottish legends Telstar Ponies - on Friday 7th, while the following night sees theatrical popsters Scunner make their Baby Tiger debut. This gig is one of the monthly gigs co-promoted with Scottish magazine is this music? Other regular events include popular monthly indie night Pop Theory (which kicks off its residency on Saturday 14th).
Background:
In its 4 years existence Baby Tiger has brought to the capital such names as King Creosote, Half Man Half Biscuit & Chris Brokaw and promoted shows by upcoming acts such as De Rosa, Popup and FO Machete... and, of course, an early performance by one KT Tunstall. It's also responsible for an annual festival - Tigerfest - which provides a month-long musical extravaganza - previously set in Edinburgh in August, the festival has expanded to incorporate Dunfermline, and has showcased My Latest Novel, Aberfeldy, Malcolm Middleton and many others.
