Another great music gig at the Queens hall. Gretchen's voice is just brilliant and she made me cry at least twice! Why was it not a sell out? Just wish the seats at the Queens hall were comfier - always leave with a sore bum.

I was there twice in one week, once to see the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and once for a band. Both gigs were excellent, the venue lent itself very well to both occasions and the staff were great

I was at the Love and Money gig at the Queens Hall. I really enjoyed the laid back and friendly vibe , the staff were all helpful and an easy to access bar, nice to be treated as a customer, most gigs these days are staged in manky venues with a byre for a toilet, well done.

In a very packed intimate atmosphere Paul held the audience for one hour forty minutes with a set which included something old and new and borrowed. Showing tremendous versitality using his full range of instrument playing abilities with fabulous backup he gave what we all wanted. A fantastic evening! Thanks Paul. Quirky hall but sound and lighting was spot on.

great, intimate space for a gig. lovely building. one of Edinburgh's gems. I always look to see what is going on here as it is a favourite venue and beats the larger, less personal spaces.

OK I'm biased. Went to see Bellowhead and they were great. But the venue is really good. Nice bar areas and the auditorium well worth going to see.

A lovely venue, small and informal with opportunity to mix with the performers after the show. Some seats had views obstucted by pillars, fortunately we were able to move as it was not fully booked.

If you are here for the Edinburgh International Festival, this is venue you can come to every morning (apart from Sunday) during the Festival and be guaranteed world class fantastic music. The box office staff go out of their way to be helpful and although the colour scheme inside the venue is dodgy and some of the seats creak incredibly,... More

As an avid gig goer of some 35 years I can tell you this venue is not suited for gigs. As the staff are used to a more 'stayed' type of event they objected to the noise level of a group of friends arriving. They then quickly decided not to serve a couple of people as they still judged them... More
