Who we are

Soundhouse is all about live music in Edinburgh. It is our aim to connect musicians with their audiences in great venues with good sight lines and fine acoustics. In short, we hope to create community by bringing together through a shared love of live music.

We programme throughout the year, but are most busy at the end of November, when we present the Soundhouse Winter Festival, and the start of May, the place in the city’s calendar reserved for Edinburgh Tradfest.

The Soundhouse Organisation is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation, founded in 2013. We are part funded by Creative Scotland and the Willliam Grant Foundation.
