a final act


Well that’s it for another wee while.

We’d like to thank everyone who came along over the weekend to watch see some incredible art, hear some brilliant music, watch some inspiring films and listen to some fantastic poetry.

The whole point of Hidden Door was to try and make something together, as artists, without any kind of big-daddy institutional backing or agenda, that isn't just another gig or show., but something that genuinely brings about something new, something fresh and something genuinely deeply creative, as a collective enterprise.

The only sad note is that the Roxy Art House has been closed down. It's such a shame that Edinburgh has lost one of the most open-minded and up-for-it venues, without warning, and it's awful for Director Rupert and Manager Morv especially who put their heart and soul into the place.

So it was a privilege to be able to have our Hidden Door as the last event - the swan song for the Roxy Art House if you like. It was a blast and it's been a real pleasure to meet so many inspiring people.

We’ll see you at Hidden Door 3!
