Virgin Money Edinburgh Festival Fireworks Concert

September 1, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Today, Sunday the 1st, will have the end of Festival Fireworks Concert if the weather allows. Did you know it took 7 days to set up, uses four tonnes of explosives and 5 miles of cable? It looks like there’s no official livestream of the 2013 event but watch Twitter for people offering uStream or […]

Review of Seann Walsh: The Lie-in King, Fringe 2013

August 26, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

As Seann Walsh moved towards the final few minutes of the gig he shared a review fear with the audience. “I star, racist”, he worried the reviewers would use to describe the show. Let’s unpack how we got to such a state. This was the last show of Seann’s time at the 2013 Fringe. Special […]

Review of The Horne Section Live in a Cow, Fringe 2013

August 23, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

For the 2013 Edinburgh Festival season The Horne Section performs in the purple belly of the Udderbelly cow. This is where the name “The Horne Section Live in a Cow” comes from. The Horne Section is led by Alex Horne but the whole band is impressive. We got to see just how good they are […]

August 22, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Do you remember the TV show Knightmare? In the live version of the show the stage dressing falls down, goblins have to hold up signs in lieu of any hooks on the wall and all of the characters look very familiar. It’s hilarious. I think it helps to have fond memories of the kid’s TV […]

Review of David O’Doherty: David O’Doherty Will Try to Fix Everything, Fringe 2013

August 22, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Pleasance One was full for David O’Doherty, very full, and a glance at the Fringe booking site tells me that the next couple of days are all sold out. There’s no doubt that David O’Doherty is now very popular. How strange it is to hear the Irish comedian reminisce over early hecklers and a time […]

Review of The Boy With Tape On His Face: More Tape, Fringe 2013

August 21, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Eventually you hear enough about a certain act that you just have to go see it. This was the case with The Boy With Tape On His Face. I was concerned. Why? The usual doubt when going to see a Fringe comedy act in which you don’t know the disposition of the comedian – audience […]

Edinburgh gets excited by all sorts of things!
Books 📚 and beer 🍺 Two of my MANY weaknesses together as @argonautbooks at @moonwakebeer #leith this weekend!
Aaaah! Imagine the delicious willpower of @tastybunsbakery being at the @moonwakebeer market this weekend. They are!
A bit of imagination on offer from @luna_edinburgh for the @moonwakebeer event. I'm not too much of a believer but using #tarot to guide your thoughts is an interesting technique.
Imagine how amazing Calton Hill's #GiraffeAboutTown will look in the right light!
Let's keep Edinburgh green!
