seashell Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Is anyone going to, or performing at the Edinburgh festival this summer? I'm going to be there 15-19 August. I haven't been before and am really looking forward to it. If anyone else is going along and fancies meeting up, let me know. And if anyone is performing, defintely let me know and I'll try and catch your act.! seashell x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatback Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I usually try to get over for at least a few days. This year? Dunno, but I'll be scheming and plotting... Always a huge treat. Played at the festival for many years. Great memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdirtyrob Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Can't really avoid it since I live here... might try and be more proactive about actually seeing some shows this year instead of just scowling at tourists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacker Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) I avoid it like the plague. Only ever relented to get dragged to see Johnny Vegas (early days) and Guy Pratt. Saw the latter twice: first time - great fun, entertaining with a touch of bass playing; second time - sh*t.

krispn Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I live here - been to see stuff every day since it started this year, mind you much of it has been free stuff with variable quality. I have a buch of buddies over next week and we're doing 4/5 shows per day for a long weekend which has became a bit of a trdition for us. If you're stuck for company between shows gimme a shout and you can grab a pint with us. The more the merrier so that goes for anyone else who is knocking about. I'm happy to provide an email/mob number upon request......following all the necessary police checks gjones Might try and get to your gig one night, maybe next Wed as we've nothing booked that night. Some locals hate the festival but I've found it to be a great experience I guess its not for everyone! G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
