Nightlife in Edinburgh?

Pretty good - not great for some music genres (I've looked and looked but no big band/motown or decent soul nights for example), but if you want a heaving dance floor, loud club beats, cheap drinks and free entry with barely dressed girls you'll be pretty much in heaven! I wouldn't try to compare anywhere with newcastle - it's the best, no competition. Edinburgh's also pretty awesome for live music - it's much better than it was for big name bands, and admittedly will be hit badly until the liquid rooms is rebuilt (there was a fire), but there's loads of small to medium sized places to see pretty much any type of music.

Do you know when the Liquid Rooms will be refurbished/built. Also, about your sig. You sure it's nothing to do with the course itself?

I agree with you about there being a lack of soul but did you go to the soul idol thing at Potterow on Friday? It was pretty good stuff - my friend's in the band and apparently they're going to be doing a couple of gigs in the jazz bar over the next few weeks.

I'm sure. The course is awesome, but utterly pointless as I have no intention of being a doctor anymore.

Wait, what? Liquid Rooms burned down? I don't know, I leave the country for a year and it all falls apart...

That's sad, anyway. Edinburgh's been very good for live music for me, less so for clubs, but then I was used to living near London. I've usually managed to find a club night that suits me in a venue around the city somewhere, though a few aren't all that well publicised - checking with venues, talking to people or hunting down organisers all tend to work quite well for finding things

Are they not doing Liquid Rooms in Faith or something?
At least, this is what I think my friends said...

Kushis is opening somewhere else too until its redone isn't it? Nicholson Street area?

I didn't even heard about it - the promotional stuff at KB is pretty terrible! The Jazz Bar is pretty much the best place for that kind of music but it has a couple of flaws (pretentious Milton readers being one ;D) and can be pricey. Definitely recommend it when it's free entry though.

(because when you play chess you don't pay entrance fees, which let's face it would be terrible )

They're doing it in Faith yeah, but it's just not the same really. And Kushis is now on the same street as Pear Tree, if I remember correctly.

And well, I might just be talking ******** about the amount of people there were in so don't take my word for it.
