Pulse of the Place

Pulse of the Place are a vibrant youth samba band! They were invited to play at the Paralympics at the Olympic Park, London in 2012.

Last week Pulse along with Off The Rails performed at @FortKinnaird as part of the Summer Live programme with @ELCArtsService
A lovely afternoon with Pulse drummers supporting children to have a go at drumming as well as a quick chill on the bean bags

An amazing time with some of the Pulse drummers. Some very intensive drumming sessions with songs and new patterns also a birthday speech. Young people were fantastic. Special thanks to John for coming out to play some bass.
Thank to @SOECBroomlee staff for making us so welcome

For all young people getting SQA results today good luck…. Please remember it is just an exam result and there are always alternative routes.
If you need support then make sure you ask someone.

Very good performance at Goodtrees Neighbourhood Centre for the youth carnival. Slightly different to our normal.
Catch us in Princes Street Gardens next weekend, we have almost 50 drummers ready to play..

Good luck to Arwen, who travels to Prague on Sunday to represent Team Scotland at Dance World Cup. She will be competing in the Senior Tap Section on Tuesday…so as with Pulse it is all about the rhythm.

Yesterday, Laura Thomson, the Headteacher at Victoria Primary School retired. She instigated re-starting the Newhaven Gala. She has been one of our most vocal supporters over the years
Here's blast from the past with Pulse at Newhaven Gala
Happy retirement Laura, we'll miss you

Last night at Trinity Academy a small band from Pulse played for their Pride Celebrations. Well done Aimee for instigating and Becca for organising. Aisha, Taylor, Yasmin and Eve for giving up their time to support the event.

What a morning. Every pupil at Victoria Primary School joined us to recreate We Will Rock You for @MakeMusicDayUK . Over 300 pupils took part.

We like to say a massive well done to Aaron who was signed by Hibs. He has drummed with us at @VictoriaEdin and is about to go to @BroHighOfficial Football Academy.

We had a great time at Dean's Gala last Saturday. Look out for us at Ormiston Gala today! 😁

We're in the middle of a run of 17 performances, ending on @EdFestCarnival. So took a look back at our trip to New York and leading the Tartan Day Parade with the wonderful Gail Porter and @fairtradetartan

[Pulse of the Place @PulseofthePlace]

Three wonderful galas thank you Blackburn, Prestonpans and Tranent.. certainly was a test to play three in one day.
