About this event

The Greasy Whiskers are bringing their energetic blend of Scottish, Irish, and Americana folk to The Black Bull on Grassmarket. This Edinburgh-based band serves up a rousing mix of traditional and contemporary folk songs, complete with four-part harmonies and an impressive array of instruments including guitar, banjo, mandolin, harmonium, and double bass. Whether you're a seasoned folk fan or simply after a lively evening of live music, this is your chance to catch one of Edinburgh's most exciting emerging acts.

Having built a dedicated following through regular sessions at some of the city's best-loved venues, The Greasy Whiskers bring infectious energy and genuine musicianship to every performance. Their versatility means you'll get a richly textured sound that draws equally from Celtic heritage and American roots music, all delivered with the kind of spirited togetherness that makes for memorable nights out.

Head down to The Black Bull and experience live music at its best. The Greasy Whiskers promise an evening of foot-tapping folk, warm harmonies, and the kind of unbridled enthusiasm that keeps audiences coming back for more.
