August in Edinburgh means the Edinburgh Fringe where the population doubles and the streets are filled with performers, tourists and ubiquitous human statues hoping the rain stays off their grease-paint.
It also means being bombarded with flyers as frequently as if you were walking through Djemaa el-Fna in Marrakech being offered the opportunity to have your photo taken with a reluctant macaque monkey.
That said, here’s my flyer! For the first time I’m bringing my music to the Fringe where I’m doing 3 one-hour shows with my 4-piece band.
Expect to hear songs from the forthcoming debut album which is nearing completion. I’m very excited about the album which will be available on pre-release exclusively during the November UK tour when I’m again supporting Alex Cornish.
Tickets for the Fringe band shows are available on the door at The Jazz Bar or pre-book at the Fringe Box Office (apart from Friday 24th where tickets are ONLY available on the door).

I’m also doing a solo show on Saturday 11th August at (Edinburgh’s best kept secret) the Douglas Robertson house concert headlined by Dean Owens‘ stunning Deer Lake project.
Hopefully see you at one of the gigs! Failing that, here’s a picture of a Moroccan with a monkey:
