AN Edinburgh bar has stepped up to support local musicians following the closure of an iconic bar in the Scottish capital.
Brewhemia announced it has devised a new weekly line-up of talent see musicians from The Jazz Bar play seven days a week.
We told earlier this week how the bar, described as Scotland’s first dedicated to jazz, is to close after 20 years.

Located on Chambers Street, it had been a hub for jazz fans and performers since it first opened.
Entertainment director at Brewhemia Carrie Beattie said she “recognised the importance of preserving Edinburgh’s rich musical heritage and extending a lifeline of sorts to the city’s talented musicians”.
Beattie added they were encouraging any musicians affected by the closure of The Jazz Bar to reach out for more information on how to participate in any upcoming gigs.
“Brewhemia is a lively venue located in the heart of Edinburgh, dedicated to celebrating the best of Scottish culture, cuisine and live entertainment.
“With a passion for music and a commitment to supporting local talent, Brewhemia provides a platform for musicians to showcase their skills and delight audiences from near and far,” she said.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
