Sorry to inform that there is no OOTB this Saturday and until further announcement. We are hoping to at least run two more unplugged OOTB events at the Kilderkin bar before Christmas.
We will let you know as soon as possible when the next event is on.
OOTB 🙁
Out Of The Bedroom is cancelled until further notice. For various reasons the Argyle Bar hasn’t worked out as a venue and we’ll be doing our best to find somewhere new. (Any suggestions welcome!)
Keep watching this space for news and updates…

BIG news from Out of the Bedroom… we’re moving to Woodland Creatures on Leith Walk! We’re moving night from Tuesday to Thursday, moving to every fortnight and musicians who play will get a free drink at the bar – woo-hoo!!
First night will be Thursday 23 March – put it in your diary! We will be running at the usual time of 8pm start, sign up at 7.30 (original material only, you know the drill!).
Hailey Beavis’s excellent night The Critter Session runs fortnightly at Woodland Creatures on the other Thursday which means that there will be a seamless transition of beautiful music every Thursday for musicians and music lovers.
The last event at The Outhouse will be on Tuesday 14 March. Come along for the goodbye and join us an imaginary, very slow conga at the end of the night out of the door down the road to the magic of Woodland Creatures nine days later.
Following the recent Out Of The Bedroom Annual General Meeting, here are the newly elected committee members:
Chairman – Daniel Davis
Secretary – Jonny Pugh
Treasurer – Nyk Stoddart
Events – Nicky Carder
Press & Publicity – Cameron Robinson
Technical – Malcolm Mclean
Web – Calum Carlyle
In other news, a special note of thanks goes to James Whyte for stepping in to chair the OOTB AGM this year. On that subject, here’s a song of tribute, recently written by an accomplished OOTB veteran, Tommy Mackay.
In other OOTB related news, Iain Roberts, formerly an OOTB regular, has eight tracks that you can listen to and buy here. As his page says, he recorded these while recuperating from a hand injury which was sustained while bobsleighing! On that subject, you can support Iain by joining this Facebook group and of course by buying his MP3s to show your support and help him get to the Winter Olympics.
Also, you can now buy Calum Carlyle’s new CD, Honesty And Thorns from various online retailers, including iTunes and Amazon. You can also hear 30 second samples of each song. Prices vary depending on where you buy it and whether you buy a CD or MP3 downloads.
Hi folks,
A couple of things of interest to tell you, the first is about BBC Radio 6 Music. You’ve all heard it’s being axed this month, you’ve probably joined a Facebook group about it, but this will actually have no effect. What you really need to do to save BBC 6 Music is send them an email using this form:
http://www.38degrees.org.uk/page/speakout/save6music?js=true
Just fill in the details and click through, in the section where you can edit the email you’re sending, please mention your own personal thoughts about why 6 Music should not be axed, and remember to add your name at the bottom. There are some helpful hints on the right side of the page for what to add.
This is important. BBC Radio 6 Music is a platform for all sorts of music that won’t be heard anywhere on a national level if the station is closed. Vote now and maybe we can save it, you’ve got about a week. Go to it! And thanks in advance.
