After my first official sketch blog, currently under wraps until it has appeared on the Edinburgh International Festival website, I am very excited about returning to the Usher Hall for Friday night’s London Symphony Orchestra 02. This time I will be accompanied by Mrs Sketcher so we’ll make a night of it, lets hope the rain stays away and we can have a wander, soaking up the wonderful festival atmosphere currently in Edinburgh.

But first I had to hot tail it up to The Hub near the top of The Royal Mile to pick up our tickets. Currently the building is the nerve centre of all Edinburgh International Festival activities. Definitely the place to go to find out more about what’s available to see in the next few weeks in Edinburgh.
