Merry-go-round style sculptures and a musical parade along Portobello Prom involving collected memories of Porty's pleasure industries

Artist Fiona Hermse worked with members of Portobello Older Peoples’ Project to create a series of mobile, merry-go-round style sculptures based on collected memories of Portobello’s pleasure industry past.

The sculptures were carried as part of an accompanying musical parade from members of Brass Blast and Oi Musica, with a massed band finale led by Marcus Britton.

Project funded by The Robertson Trust.
