The Royal Oak is probably the number-one pub in Scotland for folk singing,” while 'Sandy Bell's Bar'  - a couple of hundred yards along the road - is the world renowned folk pub for the more instrumentally inclined.  The Royal Oak, situated in Infirmary Street in the Capital's southside has music all the way, both in the public bar at street level and downstairs in the lounge which is also home to the world's smallest folk club. This CD, featuring 14 singers and groups who frequent the hostelry, boasts sleeve notes by the Edinburgh author of the Rebus novels, Ian Rankin.
