Here’s @Plumtunes playing live at the Leith Barge on Saturday, launching her brilliant new album Different Skin. (Scroll forward about 4mins in and the sound quality gets much better)

Plum was also joined by Ben Phaze later on in the set, which is well worth holding out for. The night was a resounding success, with some excellent warmup slots from other Benbecula regulars and a few homemade scones and plum jam. Plus no one went overboard into the Water of Leith which was a bonus.

The recording and live streaming was all a bit experimental for us at Leith Records, so we apologise for any technical sketchiness. Hopefully we’ll be seeing more like this on the Leith Barge sometime soon though so if you know anyone who’d like to play here, please get in touch.

Don’t forget that Plum’s full album is now available on Benbecula Records. We’ll be posting high quality cuts once we get round to editing too.

UPDATE: Sorry folks, the show’s over. But you can check out the recording or hold out for the high quality footage on YouTube / Vimeo. Thanks for watching. Let us know what you thought in the comments below!

With the miracles of modern technology, we’re streaming the album launch live from the Mary de Guise barge in Leith at 8pm tonight.

It’s all a bit experimental, so we can’t guarantee it’ll work all of the time (or even work at all!), but it should give you a flavour of the live event.

We’ll also be recording everything too, so you’ll get a chance to catch the best bits on Vimeo and YouTube.

It’ll be better than X-Factor. Promise.
