I have great memories of going to see Seasick Steve Mar Almond and Noisettes there. Less wonderful memories of it as the "Armpit Theatre" and "Revulsion 2000"</p> <p>"<em>The Edinburgh Picture House will shut forever after being bought by an as-yet unnamed firm who will not re-open the building as a concert venue.</p> <p>All concerts falling after December 31 will be cancelled.</em>" Another Edinburgh music venue - and a central, less pub/club style one - gone :-(</p> <p>What next for the building? Another restaurant chain? Boozer? "Boutique hotel"? Hopefully the façade is protected enough to prevent the last of those at least. </p>
