00:00I'm a metalhead at heart, so bands like Metallica or Rammstein or something like that, we'd
00:14love to see coming to Edinburgh. But in all honesty, I think having more opportunities
00:18for local artists, small indie bands or even trad, Scottish trad, new bands coming up and
00:27being able to give them a platform. I've been to festivals up in Stornoway and things like
00:31that where you've got up and coming bands who are able to get in front of a lot of eyes.
00:37I think having the amount of money that would be generated in Edinburgh and the amount of
00:41eyes that would be able to see that, I think that's really important for Scottish acts
00:45and up and coming bands. I think that would be probably better served than having some
00:50big massive artist that's going to come in, do a big concert and then leave.
00:53My absolute hero was David Bowie and he was here, he played Murrayfield and he was at
01:00Ingleston as well, so I've managed to get to both concerts.
01:05People that are alive, I would love to see Lewis Capaldi or Paolo Natini. I think that
01:15would be great. And to have Lewis back performing again, it would be amazing. But yeah, I would
01:22love to see one of the two of them in the gardens.
