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.

The Lost & Found Orchestra – being immersed and mesmerised, for one and a half glorious hours, by this terrific piece of innovative musical performance art was an experience to be savoured and never be forgotten.
Soweto Gospel Choir Infuse their songs with synchronised percussion, dance, and some occasional comic pratfalls, and the energy of this show is impossible to resist.
Deborah Brennan’s The Hummingbird Effect is built around a monologue that details how a seemingly random experience can trigger an evolution in the way we perceive our own lives. A brave but sometimes uncomfortable performance.
I would highly recommend that people who have not caught this tribute to Simon & Garfunkel as yet should make sure that they do so at some point…but in this venue there are some issues that work against these talented performers.
The Amy Winehouse Show at The Spiegeltent in The Garden Of Unearthly Delights – was ‘merely a ‘polite’ performance, lacking in passion and power’.
The Brewster Brothers Play Bob Dylan: ‘After the gig was over, people were buzzing with that satisfied feeling you only ever get at the very best gigs.’
Field, See & Mason at The German Club – a beautifully balanced set of blue-chip Oz rock ballads and brawlers.
The Travelling Sisters – Toupe is a sloppy and unfunny slew of directionless skits that relies far too much on flesh and far too little on fun.
The Velvet Underground presented by Little Captain will have one more performance on Friday, March 2 2018. Go. Wear black. And revel in memories of a time when our lives were saved by rock and roll.
