Off The Beaten Tracks

Off The Beaten Tracks is a musical project in unusual surroundings.

Edinburgh's a funny old place, you see. Much like the City Of London (the old bits around St. Pauls), the centre of the city is a winding, piled-high collection of narrow streets, tall buildings, and dark alleys that cut through its heart. Fertile raw material, in other words, if you wanted to - say - record acoustic sessions in places youd not normally see them.

From January 2009, well be leading the best bands we can find - local and visiting, signed and unsigned - off Edinburghs well-beaten tracks into the most interesting nooks and crannies we can squeeze into.

Over the course of the year, well be spreading our wings out of our home city. If you want to get involved, know a band that fits the bill, know a spot youd like to see a band play in, or just have a burning desire to tell us how were getting on, drop us a line.
