Another new music venue to open in Edinburgh
By Chris Cooke | Published on Tuesday 25 August 2015
Closely following the news that one of the Edinburgh Fringe’s main venue operators is planning on opening a year-round music space in the Scottish capital, now a company that runs various pubs in the city has also announced plans to open a new gig venue.
According to the Edinburgh Evening News, Bruce Taverns is promising a 900 capacity live music space within the building known locally as Wilkie House in Edinburgh’s Cowgate. That building has had various guises as a venue before – some great, some God awful – though the space has not been used at all for three years now.
Although a little smaller in terms of capacity, the company hopes the new venue will go someway to filling the hole never really filled ever since MAMA sold its Picturehouse venue in the city at the start of 2014.
