Don’t go to a huge amount, but a few, and that’s ok.

Field recordings getting posted soon
I made a few recordings when I was in Wales for the Beyond the Border storytelling festival. I’ll be posting them all this morning and today. Hopefully you’ll like them. It was a lovely weekend, not least because the weather held up for us.
And that was Beyond the Border

I’ve been going to this amazing storytelling festival for well over a decade now. And, even though it’s now only on every other year it is as wonderful and magical as ever it was. I love it. It is a complete change of pace for a few delightful days and is, in my opinion, completely unmissable.
I shall be posting a few of the highlights over the coming days as there were many, and not all of them were story related, but all of them were wonderful.
Edinburgh Fringe 2015: What Would Spock Do?
Ok, I love Star Trek. That’s only fair to say, but even so, this was a lovely little show. It was fun, poignant, and very well done. It was a one man show, and the one man was one of the actors who was in the Frontier Trilogy. He was excellent.
I’ve no idea if this show will go anywhere else after Edinburgh, but if it does I can thoroughly recommend it.
Edinburgh Fringe 2015: Frontier Trilogy – Red Moon
As I said before, I saw all of the plays in this trilogy, and each was amazing. This one was also amazing.
Edinburgh Fringe 2015: Now Listen to me very carefully
An interesting show this one. Not perhaps my favourite of 2015, but still good. It was about a guy who was obsessed with Terminator 2. Which was especially interesting as the guy who performed the show was the guy with the obsession!
Edinburgh Fringe 2015: The Blues Brothers Live
This was a must for me at Edinburgh this year. Of course, with a show like this you never quite know what you’re going to get before you get there. It’s a gamble, like most of the Fringe, but even more so when you’re a big fan of something like The Blues Brothers.
But it was very good. Very good indeed. They did all the major songs and more. The routines were very good, Jake was especially convincing and all in all it was a good gig.
I think I should go to a few more Blues Brothers tribute bands.
Edinburgh Fringe 2015: The Frontier Trilogy – The Rattlesnake’s Kiss
This was the last in the trilogy and was not only an incredible performance, but also a fantastic story in its own right and a great end to the trilogy itself. If you ever get a chance to see this trilogy I would strongly recommend it.
