Edinburgh Summer Sessions took place from 6-18 August 2018, taking over Princes Street Gardens with 5 huge live music shows on the site of the Ross bandstand. Big Hand Events were involved from the outset, project managing the event in advance, and also acting as event management on the day of the shows.
