LIVE IS BETTER #2
Evo4 have teamed up with Roxy 171 to present a monthly showcase of what we feel are some of the best up and coming artists.
Neither Evo4 or Roxy 171 will be taking any profits for hosting these nights, with all cash raised being split between the performers.
We are pleased to announce our special guest for the night, Yew

Lynsey Craig
Lyndsey fell in love with music from a very young age with inspiration from her father, also a musician. His music taste got Lyndsey hooked on classic rock n roll. Her father taught her the basics of guitar at the age of 8 and the first song she learnt to play was one of her favourites, 'Twist and Shout' by The Beatles. At the age of 11 her parents paid for a guitar tutor. He had a very strong liking for Joni Mitchell and from there on Lyndsey had been introduced and influenced by the world of folk music. In the Summer of 2011 Lyndsey started up a YouTube channel and recorded covers of her favourite songs. This proved a great success for her and a fan base started to grow.
Writing songs from a very young age and performing at every possible gig has developed Lyndsey's talents to a stage where she is filling well known venues in and around Edinburgh.
