Edinburgh Folk Club’s weekly folk nights continue in 2024 with a wealth of talent.Celebrating its 50th year at the heart of the capital’s traditional music scene, the beloved Club lights up Wednesday nights at Edinburgh’s Ukrainian Community Centre, bringing together performers and music lovers from all generations and backgrounds.
On Wednesday 22nd May, we welcome celebrated Scottish singer and musician Ed Miller.
A graduate of Edinburgh University in 1968, Ed Miller first went to the USA for a year or two to do graduate studies at the University of Texas in the late 1960's. Now, over 50 years later, he is still based in Austin and travels throughout North America entertaining and educating audiences with his wonderful songs and a droll sense of humour.
Although he did gain a PhD in Folklore from UT, he has been a full-time performer for over 35 years. During that time, he has established himself as one of Scotlands finest folk-singing exports and is in great demand to perform at house concerts, folk clubs, coffeehouses, Celtic Festivals, Burns Suppers and Highland Games all over the USA.
Ed first learned his craft in the pubs and clubs of Edinburgh during the folk revival days of the 1960s and his repertoire shows the width of that movement. From old traditional ballads and timeless songs of Robert Burns to contemporary songs of urban change, emigration, nationalism and humour, a performance by Ed Miller gives a real taste of Scotland and shows his continuing love and knowledge of his homeland. Don't be surprised, however, if he draws musical connections between the old country and his adopted home in Texas.
