Upcoming dates

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:

  • May 9 (also includes our AGM)
  • June 6
  • (no rehearsals July and August)
  • Sep­tem­ber 26
  • Octo­ber 10 (at St Mark’s Epis­co­pal Church, Por­to­bel­lo High Street)
  • Novem­ber 14
  • Decem­ber 12

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!

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.
