Twa Magicians Animated Video by Eleonore Dambre
Many things are troubling me on a personal, social and political level at the moment, and many of these may trouble you as well: division and the tendency for “them/us” thinking; violent responses to gender identity, sexual orientation, race, and faith; inequality, oppression and intolerance; knife crime; poverty; social media and its impact on people’s […]
Mòran Taing!
As some of you will already be aware, my dad, Derek Edgar, sadly died of cancer on 28th March 2017. He was an extra-ordinary man: creative, gentle, positive, loving, and determined.

Lovely fRoots Review For Stories Untold
Here’s a lovely review for my new album from fRoots: Kim Edgar, Stories Untold (Quietly Fantastic QFM004). Edinburgh songwriter-pianist delivers inspiring, thought-provoking original songs conveying both the uplift and heartbreak of love and taking their cue from core credos ‘love is the key’ and ‘write what you love’.
