Yo. Two weeks of a rather grey and wet July, so far, have just about gone by. It’s time for another round of Out Of The Bedroom with an amazing headline act to brighten this Tuesday summer evening.

Finland-born Aino Elina moved to Edinburgh last year and has quickly built a reputation as a stand-out musical artist. Her music is emotional, lush and haunting where Aino in her own words describes her creations as “indie pop with elements of electronica, hip-hop, jazz, folk and world music. She writes both in English and Finnish – sometimes mixing the two languages together”.

This is a top-notch performance at the Outhouse definitely not to be missed.

Open slots are there for the taking on the night. Sign-up from 7:30pm and we’ll start the first act at 8pm. Original material only.

Will be like gratefully gargling grapefruit juice to see you there…

Ooooft my god, is that two weeks of our precious lives gone already? Let’s celebrate the passage of time by introducing our feature act for this Tuesday evening…

Kevin Laing is originally from Fife and has been singing and playing guitar for a while. In the last couple of years he has been working on his own material, so Kevin is quite new to the singer-songwriter open-mic scene. He doesn’t have any particular musical influences and is quite intrigued when people say his songs sound like Radiohead one day, Gordon Lightfoot the next, and some other people whose music he hasn’t paid attention to. Each song is the result of playing around with chords and images, and he is often surprised with the varied results. One of Kevin’s more recent songs has a salsa influence which draws from his rather wary experience of some dance classes.

Fifteen-minute performance slots are there for the taking if you fancy some stage time. Sign-up from 7:30pm and we’ll start boppin’ and a dancin’ at 8pm. Original material only.

Will be hip-swivellingly great to see you there…

Time for another round of Out Of The Bedroom this Tuesday evening which comes with a feature act worthy of your discerning musical minds.

Edinburgh born and bred, singer-songwriter Malcolm Finlayson is a relative newcomer to the live music scene. Emphasising rawness and emotion over polish or finesse, Malcolm’s music is firmly grounded in the visceral energy of rock while drawing on a wide range of other influences which are most notably pop and 60’s folk-rock. There’s no apparent photo of Malcolm to show you, which gives you an extra reason to join us at OOTB to see what he sounds and looks like.

Slots are up for grabs if you want to perform. Sign-up from 7:30pm and the first performance will kick off at 8pm. Original material only.

Will be logical and fascinating to see you there…

Another fortnight has just about gone already and another fantastic headline act is booked for this Tuesday evening at Out Of The Bedroom.

Hailing all the way from Bristol, Andy Hiles has become a very popular and respected musician in Edinburgh’s live music scene. Andy is usually seen with electric guitar on stage and produces mixes of jazz, blues and slide in his well crafted songs.

If you haven’t seen Andy perform before, then it’s well worth coming along to the Outhouse this week to witness an entertaining performance from a rather talented and likeable musician.

Open slots are there for the taking if you want some stage time. Sign up from 7:30pm and we’ll do something about raising the curtain at 8pm. Original material only.

Will be so smooth to see you there…

Out Of The Bedroom are proud to have Dog On A Swing as our first feature act of this year at our new venue, The Outhouse. Dog On A Swing, aka Ed Ritchie, is a very popular Edinburgh musician and songwriter with his own distinctive brand of music. Ed describes his music as “3-minute(ish) pop(py?) songs”, and with three album and EP releases he is certainly prolific. His most recent release “After Work” has six great songs that are well worth a listen for your discerning ears.

Ed is also a regular live and experienced performer out there in musicland to great acclaim.

We have plenty of open slots available if you want to perform. Sign up from 7:30pm and we’ll start the canine swaying in timely fashion at 8pm. Original material only.

Will be barking mad to see you there…

Out Of The Bedroom has returned after a short break and is housed in a new venue. From now on we will be running fortnightly on Tuesdays starting from 10th May. Our new venue is the Outhouse (12a Broughton Street Lane, Edinburgh) which already hosts the very popular Live @ The Loft open sessions fortnightly on Wednesdays. We start at our usual time of 8pm and finish at 11pm, and you can sign up for a 15 minute slot (10 minutes if busy) from 7:30pm. Our usual rule of original material only applies as well.

OOTB is open to musicians, comedians, magicians, poetry, spoken word and the like. Come along and witness some rather talented live performances in our new surroundings. Will be great to see you there…

Hello. OOTB have another great evening of bright shining talent-ridden performances for your strangely-shaped discerning ears this Wednesday. No featured act this week means there are a handful more open slots to be had.

Sign-up time is from 7:30pm and we’ll start the live stage proceedings at 8pm. Out Of The Bedroom is open to music, comedy, spoken word, magic and the like. Fifteen minutes of stage time await you.

Will be bleedin’ great to see you there…

Another colourful Wednesday evening of gaping open slots awaits those brave and daft enough to showcase all kinds of original performances. OOTB welcomes musicians, comedians, magicians, poets and any other act that might be befitting of our open stage.

Sign-up from 7:30pm for a fifteen-minute slot and we’ll start the beginning at 8pm for the first act. Original material only.

There’s no OOTB next week (24/02/16) due to the Argyle Bar hosting another event, but we will return as normal on the following week.

Will be completely ooooh-aaaah-eeeeee to see you there…

Hello. Another Wednesday evening of open slots is primed and ready for showcasing more original talent in Scotland’s capital city. OOTB welcomes musicians, comedians, magicians, poets and any other act that might be befitting of our open stage.

Sign-up from 7:30pm for a fifteen-minute slot and we’ll start the proceedings at 8pm for the first act.

Will be somewhat spectacular to see you there…OOTB

Our one-track minds can only think of open slots these days to stick your various instruments in. So another sweaty, promiscuous, but amazing Wednesday evening at Out Of The Bedroom awaits you with original performances from numerous talented artists.

If you can’t stop thinking about open slots as well, then come on over to the Argyle Bar (downstairs in the Cellar Monkey) and a fifteen-minute performance should cure you of such wanton thoughts.

Sign-up from 7:30pm and we’ll raise the metaphorical curtain at 8pm for the first act.

Will be like vigorously shaking a can of fizzing ginger to see you there…

OOTB  😀
