Arthur Johnstone has been at the forefront of Scottish folk music for almost five decades. He has been described as “Scotland’s greatest political singer” and has a voice that is as distinctive as it is passionate.

Edinburgh Folk Club is an organisation which exists to foster an interest in the wide international world of folk and related musics. It is not compulsory to be a member to be able to attend the club’s weekly shows – just turn up and pay the admission charge at the door. The club held its first meeting on Wednesday 3 October 1973 and has been in continuous existence since then.
