It’s such a great picture that it needs to be here too.

Things are going on all the time!, This category is about things I’ve been to or sometimes would have liked to have been to. Also, it’s about events I’m a part of or have had some hand in running.
Edinburgh Fringe: Bromance
A truly astounding piece of dance / physical theatre. Visually it was totally amazing and I loved it. I’m not sure I entirely got what the piece was actually about, but then that’s true of a lot of dance pieces I go to, so probably says more about me than the piece itself or the performers. Having said all that, I can safely say that I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite like this or even anything close before. It was unique as far as I’m concerned, and thoroughly enjoyable too.
I’d certainly take the opportunity to see it again.
Edinburgh Fringe: Shakespeare for Breakfast
This is one of my favourite shows at the Fringe. One of those that I always go to see. Which ever play, or indeed, whatever number of them are mashed up it’s always good. Always fun, always inventive. This year was no different at all. It was a great show, lots of popular culture references and plenty of mentions about the referendum too.
Shakespeare for Breakfast has become an institution and long may it continue.
Our SoundLab installation at the Tunnel of Love (RFH)
I meant to post these pictures a while back, but didn’t get around to it. It was a great event, and a really good pre-cursor to the Beautiful Octopus Club last week.

Edinburgh Fringe: The Ukulele Evangelists Bang One Out
This show was one of those that you really only get to see at Edinburgh. Unique is the only word to describe it I think. It was a joy to watch. Inventive, funny and just full of surprises and fun. I did get the impression that the audience didn’t entirely know what to make of it, which in itself was quite funny. But I loved it, and I think that it’s shows like this that are what keep the Edinburgh Fringe fresh and alive.
And that was the Beautiful Octopus
What an amazing night it was. But I thought I had to get a picture of the Octopus itself. I’ll be posting lots more about the event soon enough.
Yep, that was the day I met Prince Edward
Always good to meet new people of course, but it was very nice to see HRH Prince Edward visit our SoundLab stand at the Liberty Festival. We was actually quite interested in what we were doing as well which was nice. In fact, he even took my business card. I wonder if that’ll lead anywhere?
SoundLab Digital Band at the RFH Tunnel of Love
Using two Thereminis, a Microsoft Kinnect, two iPads and Ableton Live in the middle of everything we made some lovely noises in the Tunnel of Love in July.
