Music, Mammals & Mayhem 2026: A Wonderful Evening of Community and Generosity

The event raised vital funds to support SEACC and the programmes, activities and events that make our centre such a special part of Sands End Arts & Community Centre.

With live entertainment, unexpected surprises, delicious food and wonderful company, the evening brought our community together for a night to remember. One particularly unforgettable highlight was a wonderfully entertaining Two Pints of Lager and a Piece of Contemporary Dance choreographed by our wonderful director Nina von der Werth, performed by Ali Goldsmith and Patricia Langa.

And just when we thought we’d seen it all, Nina made a surprise appearance herself… dressed as a dolphin! Yes, you read that right! It was an unexpected and hilarious moment that perfectly captured the playful spirit of the evening.

And, of course, we couldn’t call it Music, Mammals & Mayhem without the mammals! Our ferret racing brought yet another unexpected twist to the night’s entertainment, adding excitement, laughter and a little friendly competition.

We were also delighted to welcome the incredibly talented pianist Chapman Shum, whose beautiful performance added a truly special touch to the evening.

Adding even more laughter to the evening was the brilliant Joe da Costa, winner of Edinburgh Fringe Comedian of the Year 2025, who kept our guests thoroughly entertained with his fantastic musical comedy performance!

A huge thank you to everyone involved in bringing the performances to life. Your creativity, energy and enthusiasm made the evening truly special.

Guests were also treated to delicious food throughout the evening, and we would like to give a special thank you to our wonderful SEACC staff, kitchen and hospitality teams for all their hard work, warm service and care in making sure everyone was so well looked after.
