kitti in Edinburgh | Mercy Mercy

Find yourself on a Thursday night doing something special at Mercy Mercy - a gig of soul and rhythm in Stockbridge's hidden music spot, St Vincent’s Chapel. This concert is all about great music, warm company and a midweek escape from the ordinary.

To help us take over the chapel, we're inviting the brilliant kitti to fill the space with her own essence of soul. She holds a mix of sultry realness and raw, emotional energy to her soul-infused songs. She'll be sitting at the chapel’s Weinbach grand piano with London jazz guitarist Paul Mills, by her side in town. Warming up the stage we've locked in the talented vintage keys wizard Huw Rees and his iconic Hammond Organ as our support act, setting the sunniest of scenes.

Bring your favourite bottle, bring your favourite people and settle in for an intimate evening of Scotland's finest grooves. All welcome, this is a totally inclusive event and wheelchair accessible venue.

Spaces are limited, due to the very affordable ticket price advance purchases are recommended to guarantee your seat!

UPDATED TIME: Doors open 6:00pm
