Tinderbox Orchestra and Open Mic session

We Make Music Instrument Libraries is a brand new initiative to get musical instruments into public libraries across Scotland. People are able to borrow these instruments for free, just like taking out a book. The programme is launching with nine libraries in Fife, North Ayrshire and Edinburgh, with the intention that it spreads further across Scotland in future.

We currently hold collections of instruments in Craigmillar, Drumbrae, Muirhouse, Wester Hailes, Moredun and the Music Library, Central Library. We have a wide variety of instruments from guitars, keyboards and ukuleles, to violins, trombones and orchestral instruments. Central Music Library also have two digital pianos, a full-sized keyboard and a drum kit available to use in the library.

We are working in partnership with Tinderbox Collective to deliver this initiative and what better than Tinderbox Orchestra performing to launch this new service in Edinburgh City Libraries. Tinderbox Orchestra play 1.30-2.15pm and if you've been inspired join us for an open mic session running 2.30-3.30pm hosted by Tinderbox Collective.
