Long before Spotify and curated playlists, lived Mr Herbert More, the charismatic conductor of the Palm Court Orchestra at Patrick Thomson’s, Edinburgh’s much-loved department store. From beneath the grand domed ceiling, Herbert and his musicians provided the soundtrack to many a stylish afternoon, filling the air with everything from classical favourites to the latest popular tunes. But this wasn’t just any orchestra; he knew how to keep the crowd involved.

Guests didn’t just listen; they became part of the performance, slipping song requests to the waiting staff who would pass them along to the maestro himself. Now, in a nod to his legacy, “Herbie More’s” brings back that spirit of elegance and indulgence, only this time, the requests come in the form of expertly crafted drinks and cocktails. Raise a glass, soak in the atmosphere, and toast to the man who knew how to strike just the right note.
