Electric Circus has become an important addition to Edinburgh's live music scene, staging everything from local acts playing to their mates to internationally renowned artists.It's a good size - not too big to put a smaller band off booking it and not too small to be overlooked by bigger acts. So far this year I've seen Edinburgh based indie band Quiet as a Mouse and touring acts like RnB/Pop-star, heading for the big time, Natalie Prass and underground spoken word/rap legend B Dolan. There isn't a genre this venue won't book.
It's not just a live music venue though. You can book it for private parties, there are karaoke rooms, they offer cocktail lessons and can provide a selection of hot and cold food.
The toilets are clean, the bar is well stocked and there's a very relaxed atmosphere. It's a cool place.
