An Edinburgh canal barge hosted the first of five well being concerts on Monday, and Live Music Now Scotland director Carol Main said every single person both on the boat and off was in high spirits.
Construction workers nearby enjoyed the music from their worksite, people leaned out of flat windows to wave, kayakers beamed as they paddled by, and Main said joggers smiled from the canal banks.
“Our goal is to improve mental health and well-being by allowing people to experience music in a natural environment. We felt that traditional Scottish music is particularly well suited to an open air, flexible setting like this,” said Main.
