A review of Alice Hawkins – Suffragette, Fringe 2023

August 14, 2023 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The show is presented in a schoolroom-style format that keeps the audience engaged from beginning to end. The blend of national news and personal impact is perfectly balanced. I expected to enjoy the storytelling of “Suffragette Alice Hawkins” a little, but I ended up liking it a lot.

Review of Marcus Brigstocke: The Brig Society, Fringe 2012

August 16, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Girdy checking out Herringbone in Goldenache after it's @buzzworkslife refurb. It's looking great and tasting amazing.
Girdy (aka Andrew) celebrated St Andrews Day and @Sabzi_2021, a great Ferry Road restaurant, finally getting their 9 o'clock licence by having the Haggis Paneer Kofta. How's that for a fusion? Success and success!

Girdy & Birdy were feeling festive as they enjoyed a ride on the #Forth1BigWheel as part of their Christmas night out! #EdinburghChristmas #EdinburghChristmasMarket #edinburgh @edinburghschristmas

After touring the #CastleOfLight the other day, Girdy and Birdy popped into @august37burgers for tasty burgers, friendly service and warmth! Do you know how the venue got its name?
