We've been operating for a few years...

Some nice things have been said about us in the local and national press.
As far as we know, nobody has said anything nasty - at least in print!

What the NME Annual Student City Guide said:

2003 - "...so cool even BRMC have hung out there."
2004 - "leading indie night in Edinburgh ...the music is great"
2005 - "the Art College's weekly club night, which is all you need to know"
2006 - "The indie/rock night" (John Maclean - Beta Band, The Aliens)

So the NME used to like us! This year they picked a local DJ as their Edinburgh hack...
So for 2007 the best club is her one!
Ahh, I love impartial, informed advice.
Can't say I blame her though! - gifted a free national advertising opportunity!

City Student Guide '98-99:

"...the kingdom of Cool. There is an unofficial Egg hierarchy stemming from
the disco diva the Egg Queen down to the sneaker clad indie kids who nod their heads
in appreciation of the fine music. ...an excellent Saturday Night!"

Always liked this review - I think it perfectly captured the spirit at that time...

The Scotsman:

Our respected National Paper has written about us a couple of times.
1999? - "Edinburgh's Quintessential Indie Club"
Sept 2006 - "The first choice for indie fans..."

The first one was around a half-page in the "feature" section.
I'm really hacked off that I lost my copy when moving house.
Probably wrapped the china with it...
We used the "Quintessential" quote on an old poster.

The Edinburgh Evening News:

August 2007 - "weekends are bad for bringing the chavvies out of
their hiding places, but The Egg is safely stowed away
and provides good-natured fun and merriment for indie lovers"

I'm told we have been regularly mentioned in the "You Favourite Club Night Out".
- A section of the weekend edition.
Keep an eye on the EEN as I'm sure we'll be mentioned again soon!
