Another Evening On The Fringe With Pictish Trail

from £10.00
SOLD OUT

PICTISH TRAIL
full band show
+ special guests TBA
Leith FAB Cricket Club
(1 Leith Links, Leith, Edinburgh EH6 7QR)
Monday 11th August 2025

Doors 7pm, Live music finished by 10pm. DJs til late.

As you must already know by now, Leith Cricket Club is one of my favourite places to play in the world.  A few weeks ago, I put tickets on sale for a show there, taking place during the Edinburgh Fringe.  Tickets sold out within 24 hours of going on general sale.

SO... i'm putting on ANOTHER one. The very next day. Monday 11th August 2025.

Same venue, same band, possibly different clothes and some different songs.

Again, this’ll be a full band show and i'll be trying out some brand new material. I don't want to give too much away, but there's going to be a quantity of slime involved.

Advance tickets: There’s an allocation of tickets at £10, £15 & £20. We want everyone to feel welcome to attend the show, & encourage folks to purchase tickets at whatever price they can afford. No questions asked. There’s also no booking fees, or postage charges - all tickets will be on a list at the door. If you can afford a £20 ticket it means we can sell more £10 ones. Feel free to grab multiple tickets at different prices - if you wanna invite pals along.


Cash only bar. The merch stall, selling Pictish Trail & Lost Map records / CDs / clothing, will accept card payments, though.

"One of my favourite artists" Lauren Laverne, BBC 6Music

Throughout his career Pictish Trail has resolutely furrowed his own path, steadily creating a unique catalogue of recordings & performances, while eschewing the blueprint of the predictable singer-songwriter in favour of something untidily intriguing. 

Island Family is the fifth album from Isle-of-Eigg dwelling electro-acoustic psych-pop artist Johnny Lynch aka Pictish Trail. A strange, unpredictable, sardonic and yet deeply personal record inspired by all from Fever Ray to The Flaming Lips, Liars, Mercury Rev and Beck, Island Family is Pictish Trail’s contrarian view of arcadia; a search for the euphoric in the bucolic.

When not putting out his own music as Pictish Trail, Johnny Lynch is a fulcrum of the British independent music community. Through his label Lost Map, he champions a diverse and idiosyncratic array of extraordinary talent, helping to elevate the likes of Rozi Plain, Alabaster dePlume, Bas Jan, Callum Easter and Free Love.

Secret Soundz Vol.1 & 2, his critically acclaimed first pair of albums, were gloriously eclectic slices of lo-fi folk-pop later revived as a deluxe double-vinyl by Moshi Moshi. Future Echoes, was released to further acclaim in 2016, and was shortlisted for Scottish Album of the Year Award. In 2020 Johnny released his 4th LP, Thumb World, a voyage to the outer rings of Pictish Trail’s mind at its darkest, funniest & most inventive – described by Clash as “his most dazzling, most exceptional yet”.
