Before my time, but veterans of Edinburgh pubs and clubs might recognise these?
@thebeatlespix.bsky.social I have these large Beatles paintings, they were taken out an old club in Edinburgh and seemingly painted by a famous local artist for a concert as a stage back drop. They were seemingly used like stained glass window type things.

Boys are almost half as likely as girls to access counselling for their mental health in school.

I'm urging schools to think about why that is and to make sure they're encouraging the boys who need it to access this support.

Family Fringe reviews! The Ugly Duckling.

One of our Dads said: "A really lovely show, perfect for our group, aged 2, 4 and 6. We all loved the acrobatics and the music, tied together with a nice re-imagining of the Ugly Duckling"
