T H E L I S T festival Party
The i rst week of the Edinburgh Festival means one thing hihing ng TheThe for us; the return of the mother of all festival bashes, The
hhe e List Festival Party. This year’s event followed hot on the d tt heels of our i rst ever festival party in London, hosted at
music venue Omeara in May.
The crowds descended on Summerhall on Thu 3 Aug to celebrate in style and to all those who helped us make
it a success, we cannot thank you enough.
We’d like to say a big thank you to our sponsors Edinburgh Gin and Blue Moon for helping quench
the thirst of our revellers on the night with their tasty
offerings.
Thanks to Eventbrite for taking over the Library Cafe with DJs, face painting with Fantoosh and a photobooth.
Thanks also to Popchips and Bonnie Burrito for
supplying delicious snacks, to Viarama for showcasing their Virtual Reality Room and to Silent Adventures who
led tours around the party.
Thanks also to Emily Cuthbert, Hilary Macrae, Shannon
Collins, Jessica Johnstone McBride, Gilly Anderson and the rest of the team at YOURgb. And of course,
our programmer extraordinaire Amy Russell, who once again, put a killer lineup of acts together for the night.
We couldn’t have done it without you.
Thanks to our wonderful comperes Sian Bevan,
Jay Lafferty and Bernie Dieter for keeping everyone entertained and DJ Trendy Wendy too, as well as all of
our talented performers (see full list over) without whom
the festivities wouldn’t have been half the fun.
More thanks go to our photographer James Gourlay
and videographer Bryan Ferguson; stage managers
Moray Munro, Michael Heasman and Laura Hawkins; and of course the Summerhall team, especially Sam
Gough, Amber Cordiner, Sarah Cheung, Morgan Tooth,
