We're in some strange, difficult times; especially difficult for local business owners, who have been forced to close, adapt, and furlough staff. 

Hidden Trax has three core values – one of these is the celebration of local, independent businesses. 

In response to this crisis, we've gathered some interviews and audio from four Edinburgh business owners: Robi Lambie (Cairngorm Coffee) / Kate Harahan (Neal's Yard Remedies) / Iain Mcpherson (Panda & Sons, Hoot the Redeemer, Nauticus) / Lewis Ritchie (It's All Good Cafe).

 We've also got a big bunch of locals and Hidden Trax Creators to shout out their fave Edinburgh independent businesses. 

Tune in, for this wee snippet of Edinburgh life.

We've worked alongside none other than The National Galleries of Scotland to create our latest #hiddentraxchat, showcasing the Galleries, and Edinburgh's art world! 

Join Annika, Sarah and David in exploring the goings on of the Capital's art scene, and discover more about some of the Gallery buildings and exhibitions.

  Guests: Sarah Calmus - Edinburgh artist, core team member of Hidden Door Festival, vice president of Visual Arts Scotland, and Hidden Trax Creator!

David Faithfull - Edinburgh artist, printmaker, tutor at ECA, board member of SSA. 

Host: Annika Neilson - Edinburgh artist, and Hidden Trax Creator!

#hiddentraxchats with... Matt Carroll and Robi Lambi - owners of Fortitude Coffee and Cairngorm Coffee!

Hosted by our coffee Creator and Edinburgh barista, Axel, the chat covers Edinburgh's independent coffee scene, the Disloyal 7, the challenges of setting up your own business, the origin of coffee beans, and the third and fourth wave coffee industry. 

Both Matt and Robi run coffee businesses that are considered pillars in Edinburgh's coffee scene. This is a great chance to get their insight and thoughts on all things coffee in the city!

It is the fourth and final Festival Edition special! This week we chat to guests about their comedic and fantastic shows, and interview a writer and director who've brought Shakespeare into the 21st Century!
