“Edinburgh is crying out for a new venue. The energy of Douglas and Jane-Ann is going towards making this happen and we have to support them with some of our energy as well.”

“Edinburgh is lacking in venues, and now there is a real need to find a space to continue the good work of Douglas and Jane-Ann. Soundhouse is about community and passion for sharing music. Let’s do it together!” 

“The experience was highly beneficial for me. Opportunities available to up and coming musicians over the pandemic have been scarce and the chance to gig in a professional setting gave me hope that maybe it will be possible to still establish my career in an industry that seems to be crumbling.”

“It was fantastic to work in such a beautiful part of Scotland alongside other creative types. I am so grateful for the opportunity provided to me by The Soundhouse Organisation. It was also very encouraging to see a musical body actively encourage diversity in their lineup.”

“Jane-Ann and Douglas are not only incredibly dedicated and generous with their time and attention, but they know better than anyone what it is that musicians need to feel good and perform well.  We could not have felt more valued.”
