The Proclaimers on Leith Links (SHC)

[Bishop Hibee]

Can’t wait! Got tickets for the Saturday night. Booked into Dukes Bar for Scotland v Norway at 5pm then along the road for the biggest close-season Hibee gathering. Anyone else going?

[Pretty Boy]

Heading to my sisters flat at the Ropeworks, looks right onto the Links, mid afternoon. Big group of us headed, will watch the Scotland game with a few beers and listen to the build up to the gig from the window. Head down to the Links straight after the game.

Looking forward to it. Should be a cracking day and night in the sun.

[overdrive]

I’m going on the Sunday. Doing the Hibs hospitality before it too.

[JammyDoidger]

Sunday for us, Hibs hospitality before hand also👍🏻

[Bostonhibby]

Going saturday, looking forward to it for ages.

There’s a huge tent gone up in the Links. I’m assuming that will be where the gigs are? I originally thought it would be open air.

Its not a free open air concert:greengrin

But i too did not think the bands/singers would be in a tent.

Area of the links with facilities including the tent will be fenced off .

Ran past on the way to work this morning and that tent is massive. Whole site looks really good, reckon it will be conductive to a really good atmosphere.

Saw their set list from Kelso the other night and it's a good mix between old and new.

Finally managed to get tickets for Sunday just last week, can’t wait ☀️🍻

[Jones28]

We went to see them in Kelso on Saturday. It was spectacular.

That tent gets HOT.

I wasn’t even going but found out I have tickets as a fathers day present. So really looking forward to it. I only checked out the website last night and it looks like festival level catering and stuff so should be a fantastic occasion. I stay just up from the Links and the site does look pretty impressive. Has been good seeing it take shape since the weekend.

anyone know what time the show starts on the Sunday? ticket says 4pm

Does anyone know if you have to be there at 12.30 for the Hibs hospitality or can you arrive later with it being a carvery?

I’m sure when I bought tickets the event was actually advertised as the big top shows.

Na got to disagree. The tent will increase the atmosphere tenfold than an open field.

All my favourite gigs have been in a tent (complete lie that btw) but I have been in a few tents and as soon as you walk in the atmosphere changes.

SoL will be sensational in a tent.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

SoL will be sensational in a tent.

There'll be a few tents erected when that starts 😁

[mcohibs]

Going on Sunday, looking forward to it. Will that tent not be ****ing roasting though!?

[hibby rae]

I'm not going but I recommend heading early enough to see Hamish Hawk, at least on the day Scotland aren't playing, really good artist and a lovely guy. Up until recently was still working at Assai Records.

Admiral Fallow are also decent and Louis is a Hibby.

[McGruber]

Agree re Hamish, really superb performer, saw him at macArts in Galashiels recently was a cracking gig. Pretty quirky guy!

Any idea if this the same in the Saturday? And what’s included in the afternoon tea?

took an hour + in a queue for a few pints of watery lager at fiver a throw.

I saw the Proclaimers on this tour a few weeks ago and the set list / entire gig is brilliant. I think they are at the top of their game.

My only regret is that I’ve not seen them more often over the years - great live band.

[overdrive]

Anyone know if they are imposing a dress code at the hospitality? I’d rather wear shorts given the weather.

[Hibbyradge]

Is there a reason that this thread isn't in the dugout?

Absolutely outstanding.

I've seen them multiple times but that tops the the lot. Currently sat in the Torino with a pint winding down.

Quite a phenomenal night. Scotland game straight beforehand in a local then over the Links for an outstanding gig.

Going to take a while to wind down.

Cannot wait for this afternoon 🍻

[Craig_HFC]

What a brilliant day & night.

Went to the pre-gig hospitality in the Edinburgh club and then watched the Scotland game in the Albion Bar before going to Leith Links for the gig. Crowd was buzzing and The Proclaimers were on top form, brilliant night.

No consideration nowadays. At least tonight I will get some peace and quiet. It's Poirot night. That can only mean custard creams and a nice pot of Darjeeling.

6th time I’ve seen them last night including Hands on Hibs and Paul Hanlon’s testimonial but last night topped the lot.

[erin go bragh]

Was a great night but surely SOL should have finished the night.

[mcohibs]

Just back. Best I’ve seen them. Their band were outstanding as well.

Hopefully more Leith Links gigs, the tent was great. Wondered what the acoustics would be like but can’t fault it and made for a brilliant atmosphere.

[Wheat Hound]

Simply majestic. They should make it an annual event in the Links.

[JammyDoidger]

Sunshine on leith, wow. My mate was crying, simply unrivalled.

[number9dream]

Those auld speccy maestros know how to put on a show. Sunshine on Leith was utterly awesome - and the other favourites were absolutely fantastic.
What about the rain afterwards? Drookiit.

whenever I have seen them (at least a dozen times) they finish the encore with Joyful Kilmarnock Blues.

[Pretty Boy]

Past by this morning on my way to work and they have started taking the site apart.

It does seem a bit of shame that the area was only used for 2 gigs. It had such a nice mini festival feel about it that it would be good if something similar could be a permanent fixture of the summer in the same way the Castle gigs now are. 2 or 3 weekends every summer would be a nice addition to the Edinburgh music scene imo.

[blackpoolhibs]

WOW, what a night, brilliant show, that was the best performance I've seen from them.

[yerauldda]

Echo what others have said, I'd only seen them at the castle before which was great but last night was a different level. They sounded excellent.

[overdrive]

Fantastic show last night. Both support acts were great and The Proclaimers were excellent as usual. Hopefully there will be more gigs down at the Links. Got absolutely soaked on the way home, though :greengrin

This was very much a tester for how a gig on the Links would be received. There has to be a balance between access to what is common good land and benefit to the community of Leith and beyond. I believe a £1 of every ticket spent has went to Leith Links Community Council to allocate to the locality. Most people think the weekend was a success so hopefully there will be more gigs in the future.

Good to hear.

Definitely has to be a balance but I thought everything about Saturday was great. Pubs were busy, atmosphere at the gig was spot on, folk just chilling and listening from outside all seemed to have a good time. Would be happy to see such a thing become a regular summer occurrence.

[CallumLaidlaw]

I was at yesterdays gig and Leith walk had a buzz around it from early afternoon. Local businesses must’ve felt the 12k people out and about the area which can only be a good thing.

Also, the links seemed well set up, good number of food stalls and drink queues. Pretty impressed.

I'm writing this as someone who lives within 150 yards of the venue

I thought it was absolutely magic, and was great to see the community tent as the first tent to greet you on arrival

There was no bother at all on our side of the links (south side) from cars parking or any of that kind of stuff

And the whole event brought just a load of joy and a bit of life to the Links

I'm someone who is critical of how they try and use Princes Street Gardens for these kind of gigs btw (with all the barriers blocking views of the castle and folk being banned from accessing the public park at all) and the Links lends itself way more easily to these kind of gigs.

What a night, I echo everyone's thoughts above - hope it turns into an annual event with the Proclaimers, and that it gets to bring some life to the area during the Festival/Fringe

Yep, my elderly parents live just off Leith Links and they had no issues either. I think they were worried when it was announced, they’d have folk peeing in their doorway, etc. They didn’t even hear it which I was a bit surprised at.

Leith links community council and Leith Athletic had prominent stalls just inside the venue which was a nice touch, many of the food vans were local too, then you had newbarns brewery based in Jane Street operating one of the bars. It felt like a real effort was made to involve the community.

[Mr Grieves]

I've been to plenty of gigs over the years and never experienced an atmosphere like it. First gig for my 11 year old son, warned him they won't all be as good as that.

[HendoDelivered]

Went on Saturday and it was unreal. All the better as I lost my ticket for it so had to scramble about trying to get one last minute, so glad I never missed that. Atmosphere around Leith was brilliant before and after!

[tamig]

Absolutely fantastic yesterday. Great atmosphere all round. Never saw the first band but very impressed by Admiral Fallow and the Proclaimers were the ultimate pros. Excellent performance from the boys and their backing band were also superb. Hopefully the first of many similar type events for the Links over the coming years - as others have mentioned. Local businesses must have had record takings over the weekend and thats a more than welcome boost after years of council inflicted misery.

[hibee]

The council will probably see an opportunity to make some cash now, take it over as their own idea and ruin it.
