A casual and improvised affair with the multi-talented Gretel Killeen and friends

Towards the end of his set at the Trinity Sessions, Steve Poltz commented that no two of his gigs are ever the same, and you can see why. His performance a delightful journey that takes unexpected turns – even surprising the performer. But Poltz is such a natural on the stage that it all just seems right.

With such an impressive catalogue of well-loved songs, it’s probably time we had a Nick Cave tribute show. Doing justice to this legendary material, however, is no easy task. Thankfully, local group, the Dark Seeds are up to the task.
Fowler & Finn: A Tribute to Crowded House – The obviously talented Fowler Sisters have one more show to play during this year’s Fringe, and now, given an extra, distraction-free week to get the songs into better shape, there is every chance their next show will be much more successful than this one.
