We journey both into the roots of Soul Music and Dance with Movin’ Melvin Brown, and then Around the World on 80 Quid, following the misadventures of an Irish Gypsy Fiddler. We’re then brought ‘down-to-earth’ as such with Steve Walter’s candid – but nonetheless humorous – excerpt from his personal account of breakdown An Acute Psychotic Episode, while the kids can enjoy the drama, music, puppets, comedy and dance that is the Culture’s Club.
More music comes in the form of ‘Baroque & Roll’ from The Madness of the Mandolins, and uplifting acoustic songs from And to top it all off, The Ising on the Cake comes amid feather boas and retro props as the domestic goddess diva Sharon Elizabeth presents a feast of music, chocolate, comedy and cooking. Again, there’s plenty more on offer throughout the day. |
So, not only is Fringe City a great opportunity for people with events in the Fringe to promote their show, it's a chance for the whole of Brighton to come together in what the Brighton Festival and Fringe do best; making this city a more fun and exciting place to live in.
With nearly 600 shows in the 2008 Fringe, there really is something for everyone, and
