We meet one Sat­ur­day each month to learn songs of free­dom and strug­gle from around the world. All are wel­come. No need to read music, no singing expe­ri­ence nec­es­sary – just come along with your enthu­si­asm and your voice! No book­ing is required – just turn up on the day – and bring your friends!

Our month­ly song work­shops are usu­al­ly (but not always) on the sec­ond Sat­ur­day of each month, except for a sum­mer break, from 10am to 1pm.

For 2026 the dates are:

• Feb­ru­ary 14
• March 14 (replaced by singing at Faslane demo — see below)
• April 11
• May 9
• June 6

The venue is Broughton St. Mary’s Church, 12 Belle­vue Cres­cent, Edin­burgh EH3 6NE. It’s on the num­ber 8 and 9 bus routes, or a few min­utes walk from the 36, 23 or 27 routes. Bikes can be chained up in front of the build­ing. The venue is acces­si­ble, though the entrance is a dif­fer­ent to the main one most of us use — so do let us know if you need stair-free access and we’ll make sure some­one is ready to meet you and show you the way!

Faslane songs 2026

Get­ting there

Come by car or coach — or there are trains and bus­es to Helens­burgh; then a local bus to the North Gate (316 or 316A every half hour, from oppo­site the train sta­tion — takes 20 min) — though no pub­lic trans­port to Glen Fru­in which is a fair trek uphill on nar­row wind­ing roads. You could hold the space at the gate dur­ing that time instead.

Coach­es are run­ning from Edin­burgh, Glas­gow and Aberdeen (pick­ing up at Dundee, Perth and Stirling).

Glas­gow coach: Leaves from North Hanover Street, near Cos­ta Cafe, at 11.00. Please arrive at least 15 min­utes before departure.

Edin­burgh coach: Leaves from Char­lotte Square, city cen­tre, at 9.45. Please arrive at least 15 min­utes before departure.

Weekly vigil

Since Octo­ber 2023, mem­bers of Protest in Har­mo­ny have held a week­ly vig­il to grieve, to sing togeth­er and to keep call­ing for a cease­fire in Gaza and for an end to the 75-year-long occu­pa­tion of Pales­tine. We sing for peace and safe­ty for every­one. Every­one. We meet every Fri­day from 12 noon to 1pm out­side St Giles’ Cathe­dral. All are wel­come to join us.
Our songs are easy to pick up, but we do have a song­sheet you can bring along if you wish.
