The Edinburgh Festival is in full swing, which means that venturing anywhere near the centre of town means that you are besieged by people begging you to come and see ‘the funniest show on the fringe!’ I have, on occasions, made remarks that I’m not going unless it’s an all-lesbian mime version of Macbeth.
Still, secretly, I do enjoy the fringe ev
ery year. I have caught some good acts so far this year – as well as the free Guardian podcast (currently doing very well on the iTunes podcast chart), I have also seen
Seymour Mace, Miles Jupp, and would recommend that you catch Susan Calman, Daniel Shloss and no doubt others…
So, in case
you aren’t in
Edinburgh h
ere is a veritable pot-pourri of scottish artists, many of whom have not been featured here before:
Astrid -‘High In The Morning.’ mp3
Young Fathers -‘Straight Back On It.’ mp3
Long Fin Killie -‘Hands and Lips.’ mp3
ou’re A Star.’ mp3
Tango In The Attic -‘Jackanory.’ mp3
Be A Familiar -‘Pain In The Heart.’ mp3
Monica Queen -‘I’m Sorry Darling.’ mp3
As always, if you like what you hear, please support the artists. All these artists can be found on eMusic.
*this is not to show disrespect to gay folk of either gender, women, mime artists or Shakespeareans. OK?
