Booking Tickets are available through the event website

A start time and end time are not included in the supplied listing. It also provides no transport instructions or accessibility information, so attendees who need any of those details should check the event website before booking or travelling.

Three musicians at the heart of the concert

North Sea Gas comprises Dave Gilfillan, Grant Simpson and Ronnie MacDonald. Established in the 1980s, the Scottish folk group has released 22 albums and continues to perform internationally.

The Edinburgh appearance will put the trio’s vocal harmonies, instrumental work and storytelling at the centre of the evening. The instruments identified in the event information include guitars, fiddle, bouzouki, mandolin and bodhrán, giving prospective attendees a more specific indication of the concert’s musical character than the folk label alone.

No set list has been published in the supplied information, so individual songs cannot be confirmed in advance. However, the advertised combination of harmonies, varied acoustic instrumentation and narrative performance makes the event particularly relevant to existing North Sea Gas followers and people interested in Scottish folk traditions.

What the £18 ticket covers

The advertised admission price is £18 per person. Refreshments are included in that amount rather than listed as a separate purchase, which is useful to account for when planning the visit.

Forever Edinburgh Events directs prospective attendees to purchase tickets on the event website. The listing does not say that tickets will be sold at the venue, so visitors should not assume that admission can be arranged on arrival.

Anyone considering the concert should use the listed booking page to confirm availability and obtain the missing timing, accessibility and travel information before setting out for the Corstorphine Astoria Centre.
