Join us for a terrific evening of entertainment from inspiring young musicians from across Edinburgh.
"20 years of any band is no mean feat, but even more so when it twists into characterful regeneration and presents all anew at least every few years. Edinburgh Schools Rock Ensemble has done just that, and yet stands as vital and magical as ever…. ESRE has become more than anyone could’ve expected and has done for so many aspiring musicians what no other musical training could do"SNACK - Scotland's New Music Podcast
