Such a great show. Saw it with my teenage son & the humour & storytelling cut through & started some great conversations

Couldn’t wait to get to NGS today to see the new Ian Hamilton Finlay exhibition. Such a treat to see a dedicated exhibition of his work.

Brilliant to watch Hamish Hawk perform in his home town at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall & thank the small independent music venues in the city that gave his band their first gigs - ‘we wouldn’t be here without Sneaky Pete’s’. Great gig!

How amazing. I don’t think I have missed any GRIT performances but that behind the scenes would have been special

Ten years since I was lucky to be at the first performance it was once again a joy & delight to see the GRIT Orchestra. Looking forward to the next ten years
