A dark poster on a yellow backdrop features two glowing goat figures flanking writing that reads: Same Sky presents The Candlelight Cèilidh featuring Charlotte Oliver and the Pooka Cèilidh Band. 17:15-19:00, 28 May. Luna Parc. Brighton Fringe. Caravanserai.

I’ll be part of the Pooka Cèilidh Band providing music for the Candlelight Cèilidh this Sunday.

There’ll be all sorts of witchy shit.

If the weather’s good, hang out around Bruntsfield Links and The Meadows—lovely outdoor spaces with very good doggos (and good coffee spots nearby).

If mankind perished utterly;

And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,
Would scarcely know that we were gone.

A line of tombstones form a wall in the foreground in front of trees in full green bloom. In the background under a blue sky with drifting white clouds looms Edinburgh castle atop its promontory.

Greetings from Edinburgh!
