The Kaiser Chiefs will be playing in Edinburgh next year, and serviced apartments are a great option for anyone who will be visiting the city during this period. The Kaiser Chiefs are one of the most beloved pop bands of the new millennium; the band specialises in ridiculously infectious pop music and the group have a great sense of humour that has endeared them to most people. The band first got everyone’s attention with their debut album “Employment” released in 2005. The singles from the album were all chart hits – there was “Every Day I Love You Less and Less”, “Modern Way”, and the huge hits “Oh My God” and “I Predict A Riot”. A measure of the band’s success is that their songs were covered by pop acts like Lily Allen, Girls Aloud and the Sugababes. The band’s success has continued with the follow up albums “Yours Truly, Angry Mob” in 2007, and 2008’s “Off With Their Heads”. The band will be touring hard to promote their fourth album “The Future is Medieval”, released this year, and the live shows should remind everyone just how many great pop songs the band now has in their locker. The band will be playing Edinburgh’s HMV Picture House on the 9^th February 2012, and if you are lucky enough to be in attendance it should be a wonderful evening.

Serviced apartments are still available for the night that the Kaiser Chiefs will be playing Edinburgh in February 2012. More and more people are starting to choose serviced apartments over the usual hotel room. This is because serviced apartments offer much more space than a hotel. As well as the bedroom(s) and bathroom(s), the vast majority of serviced apartments have a lounge and dining area, as well as a kitchen. In a serviced apartment you can prepare your own meals and then sit down at the table to enjoy them. The lounge area also helps a serviced apartment to feel like a home away from home.

Ed Sheeran is an exciting new act who has recently established himself with the success of his debut single “A Team” which reached number 3 in the singles chart, selling 58,000 copies in the first week of release. The follow up single “You Need Me, I Don’t Need You” reached number 4 in the chart continuing his success. More important than the success of these singles is the fact that his debut album “+” reached the number 1 spot in the albums chart. This just goes to show that Sheeran has connected with a lot of people, and is unlikely to be another one-hit wonder. Though he is only 20 years old, Sheeran has worked long and hard for the success he is currently enjoying. He began recording his music in 2005, and released a number of EPs. He has also worked hard to develop himself as a live performer, moving to London in 2008 in order to perfect his skills by playing as many gigs as possible; in 2009, Sheeran played 312 gigs according to some reports. Sheeran released a number of EPs and collaborated with a number of artists: for example, his “No. 5 Collaborations Project” saw him work with hip-hop artists Wiley, Devlin and Sway. His appeal reaches across genres, as demonstrated by his successful appearances at Glastonbury and Reading festival. Sheeran’s show in Edinburgh is sure to be a great night – a chance to see an up and coming artist performing his best songs.

Serviced apartments are still available in Edinburgh for the Dead by Dawn film festival next year. Serviced apartments are a great place to stay during your visit to Edinburgh, offering much more space than the traditional hotel room. If you are interested in serviced apartments in Edinburgh, why not visit the Serviced City Pads website and see what your options are?

Serviced apartments in Edinburgh are available for next year’s Dead by Dawn festival which will take place from 29^th March – 1^st April 2012. Dead by Dawn is a horror film festival that has taken place annually since 1993 (except for a break in 2010) at Edinburgh’s Filmhouse. The festival is an international affair with films from all around the world – this Serviced City Pads blogger was lucky enough to attend last year’s festival, and there was a great diversity of films on display. This year’s line-up is still to be confirmed, but a quick recap of last year’s line-up will illustrate the range of film on offer. In terms of the more traditional fare there was “The Last Employee”, a haunting ghost story from Germany, and “Julia’s Eyes” a Spanish psychological chiller about a woman losing her sight. There were also some films that don’t fit the traditional horror mould, but were frightening nonetheless, such as the Japanese drama “Cold Fish” by arch provocateur Sion Sono. There were also some strange offerings like the excellent Korean film “The Neighbour Zombie”, which was composed of short films made by Korean film-makers. British film was represented by the absolutely charming and funny “Harold’s Going Stiff” which saw a lonely old man suffering from the onset of zombie like symptoms making a new friend. There was space for comedy at the festival too, with “Dale & Tucker vs. Evil” and “Chop”, which was an absolutely inspired parody of “Hostel” and “Saw”. As well as showcasing new film, the festival also offered the chance to see classic horror on the big screen – last year saw screenings of “Carrie”, Cronenberg’s “Dead Ringers”, and “Killer Klowns from Outer Space”. It’s not all about features though; the festival also showcased short films and animation from all over the world. For anybody who loves horror film, the Dead by Dawn festival will be a delight – you will have the opportunity to see film from all over the world. If you want a challenge, you can try to survive the Saturday night all night screening – it ran until 7.00am in the morning, and this blogger is proud to say he managed to make it through, meaning that he did not miss a single thing on the festival bill.

If you will be coming to Edinburgh for Dead by Dawn next year, have you considered serviced apartments for your accommodation? Serviced apartments can offer much more space and comfort than the traditional hotel room, with a living and dining area, and a kitchen where you can prepare your own meals. To see the range of serviced apartments available in Edinburgh, visit the Edinburgh city page on the Serviced City Pads website.

Jessie J will be playing Usher Hall in Edinburgh in October, and there are still serviced apartments available for that night. Serviced apartments are an increasingly popular option for people travelling around the UK, and if you will be coming to Edinburgh to see Jessie J at Usher Hall then they could be an ideal choice for accommodation. Contact us here at Serviced City Pads to see what options are available.
Serviced apartments are available for the night of 25th October 2011 when Jessie J will be playing Usher Hall in Edinburgh. Jessie J is a star on the rise, and the show at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall is a great chance to see her live. Jessie J first came to public attention with the single “Do It Like a Dude” which was a huge hit, only kept off the top spot by Bruno Mars’ “Grenade”. Despite the appearance of sudden stardom however, Jessie J (real name Jessica Cornish) had been pursuing a career in music for many years. She enrolled at the BRIT school at 16, and worked at her songwriting and performing. Initially, Jessie J struggled to forge a career as a solo artist, and instead began working as a songwriter for hire for other artists, such as Chris Brown and Miley Cyrus. Jessie was one of the songwriters behind Cyrus’ hit single “Party in the U.S.A.” which was a US number 1. Interestingly, Jessie J’s breakout hit single, “Do It Like a Dude” was initially another song that she wrote for another artist. Inspired by Rihanna’s “Rude Boy”, she wrote the song for Rihanna, only for her label to convince her that she should release the song herself. This she did, and she has never looked back. The follow up single, “Price Tag” featuring American rap star B.o.B, went in at number 1, and confirmed that Jessie J is one of the most exciting pop stars around at the moment. She triumphed at the BRIT awards in 2011, walking away with the Critic’s Choice award, and her debut album “Who You Are”, released in February 2011, saw critical acclaim and commercial success debuting at number 2 on the album chart and selling over 100,000 copies in its first week. The subsequent success of the next singles “Nobody’s Perfect” and “Who’s Laughing Now” have established Jessie J as a hitmaker, and her touring has built her reputation as a live performer. Anyone lucky enough to have a ticket for her show at Usher Hall in Edinburgh will see a pop star who should be around for a long time.
If you will be coming to Edinburgh to see Jessie J perform have you considered serviced apartments for accommodation for your visit? Serviced apartments are a great alternative to the usual hotel room – they can offer a home away from home and really help you to enjoy your stay.

The Serviced City Pads blog often tries to draw attention to cultural events that are under the radar – recent examples of this for Edinburgh include the Swamp Soccer World Championship and the Dead by Dawn horror film festival. However, this blog is devoted to an event that is probably not in any danger of being overlooked!

The award winning stage show We Will Rock You is coming to Edinburgh at the end of 2011. The Ben Elton penned epic will be performed at the Edinburgh Playhouse from the 29th November 2011 to the 7th January 2012. The show is set in a dystopian future where culture has become homogenized and life is bleak and dull. The people are looking for someone to save them – will it be the mysterious Galileo? Featuring some of Queen’s greatest songs (including “I Want to Break Free,” “Another One Bites the Dust,” and “Radio Gaga”) We Will Rock You is sure to be an amazing evening, particularly for those who are already well acquainted with the hits of one of the greatest bands that Britain has ever produced.

If you are looking to visit Edinburgh at the end of this year, whether to see the show, or just to see Edinburgh itself, you could always book a serviced apartment for your visit.

If you sometimes feel nostalgic for football’s past when teams spent much of the season knee deep in mud then this Serviced City Pads blog may be of great interest to you. These days a bad pitch is a rarity at the highest levels of the game – just look at the beautiful playing surface at Arsenal’s Emirates stadium. The development of playing surfaces has undoubtedly led to a much more aesthetically pleasing style of football and has been good for the game.

However, that’s not to say that that there isn’t a lot of fun to be had from watching two teams battle it out in more adverse playing conditions, and this is exactly what you will find at the Swamp Soccer World Championships which will be taking place in Edinburgh this year from the 25th – 26th June 2011. A swamp soccer match lasts for 24 minutes and has 6 players on each team. You can find out more about the tournament by visiting their official site.

Perhaps you and your friends will be attending the event; you may even be challenging for glory yourself. Dare you take on the mighty Real Mudrid or Swampdoria?

If you are either a spectator or a participant at the Swamp Soccer World Championships you will need somewhere to stay. Here at Serviced City Pads, we have a range of apartments available through our apartment operators, from studio and one bedroom apartments all the way up to three and four bedroom apartments which are ideal for big groups. You can see all the serviced apartments we have available in Edinburgh by visiting its city page on our website.

Horror as a rule is a much maligned and underappreciated genre – when they are handing out the big awards and the cultural kudos, horror seems to be the weirdo in the corner that no-one pays much attention to whilst the latest piece of “serious” drama garners all the acclaim. However, the best horror films don’t need the validation of critics and the film industry as they are more than capable of haunting our cultural consciousness and what better place to do this than from the edge of things, in the shadows?

All the same, it is great to see the return of the annual Dead by Dawn horror festival to Edinburgh this year after it took a break in 2010. The festival, which began in 1993, will be back at Edinburgh Filmhouse from the 5^th – 8^th May 2011 to terrify audiences. You can see the programme of events by visiting their official site. The festival will have some big main features, as well as a variety of short films. Don’t be fooled into thinking this is just a festival for gorehounds – there will be psychological horror, and all kinds of downright weird shorts.

If you are planning to attend the Dead by Dawn festival then one thing that shouldn’t frighten you that weekend is the search for accommodation. You can get in touch with us here at Serviced City Pads and we can find options for you through our apartment operators. More and more people are turning to apartments over the traditional hotel room – they offer far more space and comfort at affordable prices. Most apartments will have a lounge and dining area and a fully-fitted kitchen – it’s like a home away from home. Click here to see the range of serviced apartments available in Edinburgh.

Edinburgh is one of Europe’s most beautiful and historically interesting cities, and is also Scotland’s capital. Edinburgh’s history dates back to Roman times (AD79) with the city growing in size and stature throughout the middle ages. Much of the stunning architecture dates back to Georgian and Victoria times. Thankfully many of the beautiful buildings situated throughout the old town were preserved and returned to their former glory, during a time when other British cities were pulling down their heritage and replacing it with concrete. Edinburgh is a visually stunning place to visit.
