Sandy Bells

Sandy Bell's

Sandy Bell's is a bar in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is located on Forrest Road, in the Old Town area of the city. It is known locally and internationally for its live traditional music sessions.[1][2]

Sandy Bell's original name was 'The Forrest Hill Buffet', later becoming 'The Forrest Hill Bar'. The later name Sandy Bell's derives from the building’s 1920s owner Mrs Bell; however, the origin of the name “Sandy” is uncertain.[3]

Scottish Folk Revival[edit]

Sandy Bell's gained notoriety during the Scottish Folk Revival of the 1950s-1970s, when musicians playing traditional Scottish music would regularly take part in music sessions there.[4] Musicians who frequented the bar at this time included Phil Cunningham, Barbara Dickson and Billy Connolly.[5]

A fortnightly magazine, the Sandy Bell's Broadsheet, was published by pub regulars including Ian Green during this period; editorial meetings took place in the pub, which also served as its correspondence address.[6]

Sandy Bell's is located close to the University of Edinburgh and was regularly visited by folklorist Hamish Henderson, who worked at the University's School of Scottish Studies.[7] A bust of Henderson, who died in 2002, is displayed above the bar in Sandy Bell's.[8]

During the 1970s an album entitled Sandy Bell’s Ceilidh was recorded on the premises, including performances by Aly Bain, Dick Gaughan and The McCalmans.[9]
