A musical about pirates. It is an historical fact that women dressed as men were part of Blackbeard’s crew in 1718. One was Anne Bonney,
the niece of the Colonial Governor of North Carolina. Her lust for adventure and its consequences are told through Musicians Theatre,
a theatrical form created in the 1970’s by Bland Simpson and the world-renowned bluegrass group, The Red Clay Ramblers.
The stories come out of the music, rather than the other way round. Join this four-star American High School troupe
for a foot stomping adventure as they return to the Fringe!
The Acoustic Music Centre @ St Bride's operates annually for the three weeks of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The majority of the performances fall into the very broad description of roots/acoustic/Celtic music and the AMC @ St Bride's features some of its greatest exponents. As the venue hosting the majority of this music on the Fringe, it is the place to be. The programme also features a children's puppet show from Spain, two choral shows, ceilidh dances, cabaret, and drama performances.
The Acoustic Music Centre @ St Bride's has two comfortable performance spaces and bar and restaurant facilities. The box office will open one hour before the first performance daily from Monday 8 to Sunday 28 August.

LONDON -- John Malkovich has been handing out flyers to astonished passers-by at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, according to the Scotsman.
The actor and director was raising the profile of his play, A Celebration of Harold Pinter, starring Julian Sands, who appeared alongside Malkovich in The Killing Fields.
But unlike many a weary leaflet tout, Malkovich, accompanied by Sands, had no problem dishing out flyers to a throng of delighted fans.
Dressed in a light blue patterned jacket, the star - who counts Dangerous Liaisons, Empire of the Sun and Con Air among his screen credits - was hugged and kissed as he posed for pictures.
Asked by the Scotsman what prompted the pair to bring the personal touch to promotion, Malkovich declared: "We've got to reach the punters."
"It's business," said Sands, "We come here with a theatre play and we want people to come and see it.
"Everyone else is handing out flyers and we have to compete."
The play is made up of personal anecdotes and reflections drawn from Sands' work with Pinter, combining his poems and political prose to create an insight in to his literary legacy.
Sands worked with the Nobel Prize-winning playwright shortly before his death in 2008 after he was called in to replace Pinter at a London poetry reading.
"It's a celebration of Harold Pinter's work, not his plays, pretty much the development of his work as a poet and of his life," said Malkovich.
Malkovich has been in productions of Pinter's plays, appearing as Deeley in the BBC production of Old Times.
He said: "I had heard a CD of Jules' reading of the poetry and then he kind of worked that up in to a slightly different form, that became nearly a theatrical piece."

In its 64th year, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is delighted to launch its biggest and most exciting line-up to date comprising a staggering 2,453 shows. With the number of shows increasing by 17 percent on last year’s total, the 2010 programme ensures that the Fringe offers the world’s best and most original comedy, theatre, dance and physical theatre, events, exhibitions, children’s shows, music, musicals and opera.
Launching the programme, Kath M Mainland, Chief Executive of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, said:
“I am delighted to unveil the 2010 Edinburgh Festival Fringe programme which yet again exemplifies why the Fringe is the world’s leading arts festival. As you’ll see from this year’s programme, Edinburgh in August will be bursting with the most talented artists from every area of the arts world. Nowhere else can you see such a variety of world class talent and range of shows that are guaranteed to engage, enthral, excite and delight.
“As the largest arts festival, the Fringe attracts performers and audiences from every corner of the world. I look forward to welcoming them to Edinburgh and kicking off what is set to be the biggest and most exciting Fringe to date.”
Minister for Culture, Fiona Hyslop MSP said:
"As the largest arts festival in the world, the Fringe is an excellent platform for talented performers and organisations to shine on an international stage. I am delighted that our Expo Fund – through the Made in Scotland showcase – is promoting Scottish-based work at the Fringe and raising the profile of our world-class talent internationally."
To mark the launch a photo call was held in Princes St Gardens featuring props taken from the front cover design including an umbrella, a butterfly and a birdcage. Christina Kernohan modelled for the shoot in an elegant dress made by designer Judy R Clark. Christina’s striking red bouffant hair style was the work of Edinburgh Hairdresser Freddy Antabi and her makeup was done by Gillian Galbraith. The pictures were used by the national press to accompany the news of the programme launch and the programme’s much anticipated contents.
Following the success of the first Made in Scotland programme in 2009, which secured nine awards including the Edinburgh International Festival Fringe Prize, the showcase returns in 2010 featuring some of the best Scottish theatre and dance. Made in Scotland is supported through the Scottish Government’s Edinburgh Festivals Expo Fund and helps talented, Scottish-based performers and companies present their work on an international stage.
This year’s shows include Platform in association with Giant’s The Songbird: A Tone Poem (Royal Botanic Gardens), Scottish Dance Theatre (Zoo Southside), Colette Sadler/Stammer Productions withMusical (Zoo Southside) and plan B’s A Wee Home From Home (Acoustic Music Centre @ St Brides).
Fringe Central, the participants’ hub run by the Fringe Society, plays host to a series of exciting events for participants and public this year, including the Royal National Theatre curating a series of events. Events range from Kwame Kwei-Armah: The Artist in Society (Fringe Central), a free ticketed event in which the world famous playwright and broadcaster will discuss the role of the artist in society to staff members of the National Theatre Studio leading seminars for Fringe Participants.
In 2010 several venues are celebrating anniversaries. Bedlam is 30 years old, as is Assembly. Gilded Balloon celebrates 25 years on the Fringe and Zoo Venues turns 10. The Edinburgh Comedy Awards also celebrate their 30th anniversary this year. 2010 is also a momentous year for Tony Tanner, who returns to the Fringe after 47 years and a successful Hollywood career with Charlatan (Assembly).
Alongside the reams of talent gracing the stages all over Edinburgh the Fringe is delighted to welcome some new venues to this year’s programme, such as The Pleasance at Ghillie Dhu. Assembly is in a new space in Princes St Gardens, and Leith hosts the Mary of Guise Barge at The Shore. Hill Street Theatre reopens its doors to Fringe audiences this year under the artistic management of ReMarkable Arts.
As each year sees new acts make their name internationally, winning any number of Fringe related awards, we’re delighted that 2009 award winners are returning. Edinburgh Comedy Award Newcomer 2009 Jonny Sweet returns with a new stand up show Let’s Just Have Some Fun (And Learn Something, For Once) (Pleasance) and award winning theatre maker David Leddy’s 2009 Glasgow Citizens’ Theatre sell out Sub Rosa comes to ReMarkable Arts at Hill Street Theatre.
Total Theatre-winning puppeteers The River People are returning with a premiere of The Terrible Tales of the Midnight Chorus (Bedlam), Uber Hate (Underbelly) is a new show from Horizon Arts, who won the Holden Street Theatre Award for last year’s Heroin(e) For Breakfast.
The Fringe seals its reputation as a world-wide platform for artists, this year playing host to The Dirty Immigrant Collective (The Voodoo Rooms) from New York which presents four comedians’ look at American identity, alongside Desire (New Town Theatre) an original Czech piece translated for Fringe audiences. Dance Base has an international line-up including US company Dance Box Theater withHaunted while Velocity comes from Irish companies Daghdha Dance Company & Pair Dance. Dag Soras: Outside the Comfort Zone brings a Norwegian sense of humour to The Stand.
There are plenty of famous names scattered throughout the programme this year, with Alan Cumming performing songs from his debut album in I Bought a Blue Car Today (Assembly), Gyles Brandreth’s new play Wonderland (Assembly) and The Sweeney (Gilded Balloon), which brings a myriad of comedians including Paul Merton, Eddie Izzard, Josie Lawrence and Greg Proops to the stage to chart the remarkable life and work of Fringe veteran Jim Sweeney. There is also an artistic offering from former American President Jimmy Carter which American High School Theatre are performing, an adaption of his children’s book Little Baby Snoogle-Fleejer (Church Hill Theatre).
For the more contemporary celeb spotters Dizzee Rascal (Corn Exchange) will be appearing as part of the Edge Festival, Britain’s Got Talent dance sensation Flawless (Underbelly) will be spinning some shapes and Abi Titmus is taking to the stage in Up ‘n’ Under (Assembly).
Sashaying down the red carpet this year are several names from US television and the big screen from The Wire’s Clark Peters in Five Guys Named Moe (Underbelly), to actress Jennifer Coolidge - Yours for the Night (Assembly) and Caroline Rhea (Gilded Balloon) in her self-titled show.
2010 has been the year of sing-a-long television spectaculars, and the Fringe is no stranger to Glee with West End Glee Club (Zoo Roxy) and The Singalong Glee Club (Gilded Balloon), representing school singing clubs, and Showstopper: The Improvised Musical (Gilded Balloon), back again to wow audiences with its musical take on improv.
The Mighty Boosh return in part with Rich Fulcher: An Evening with Eleanor, the Tour Whore(Underbelly) and Noel Fielding from behind the scenes directing Paul Foot – Ash in the Attic(Underbelly).
As well as performing at the Fringe, celebrities also provide the basis for content in other shows such as Ant Dawson: I Bought Richard Hammond’s Underpants on eBay (Just the Tonic @ the Caves) andAn Hour of Telly: Live (The Banshee Labyrinth). Even the film world’s most famous TV Anchor, Ron Burgundy is represented in Ray Green: Adventures in Telly Land 3D (Gilded Balloon).
The news channels have provided excellent material for artists this year and there are many bold and provocative productions aimed at challenging opinions and encouraging debate. The issue of sex trafficking is topical this year with theatre productions Roadkill (site specific, The Traverse), See me! Hear me! (The Quaker Meeting House) and Emma Thomson Presents: Fair Trade (Pleasance) leading the way as well as comedy shows such as Keith Farnan: Sex Traffic – How Much is That Woman in the Window? (Underbelly). David Benson’s one man exploration of the story behind the Lockerbie disaster is at Gilded Balloon in Lockerbie: Unfinished Business and even the American President gets a mention in Obama Mia (Just the Tonic @ The Caves).
Fringe performers are certainly not known to shy away from taboo subjects, and female sexuality is a prominent theme in this year’s programme with thought-provoking productions such as Your Little Princess is My Little Whore (The Spaces), Busting Out (Assembly), Grainne Maguire – We Need to Talk About Bonnets (Just the Tonic @ the Caves), Cellophane (The Pleasance) and Sex Idiot (Zoo).
Disability and social stigma is firmly rooted on the agenda with shows such as Smiler (Gilded Balloon), Expectations (Pleasance), Dyslexia the Musikal (The Spaces on the Mile) and Private Dancer (Dancebase @ The Mecure Point Hotel) challenging stereotypes.
With the Football World Cup kicking off a summer of international sporting events, the theme of sport does not go unnoticed in the Fringe Programme from All Over A Football (Underbelly), to Bob Doolally’s World Cup Balls (The Stand) and Paul Ricketts - Kiss the Badge, Fly the Flag! (Just the Tonic @ the Caves). In other sports, cricket legend Henry Blofeld, the voice of Test Match Special, returns to the Fringe in Blowers and Bly: Bald, Bold and Belligerent (Venue 150 @ EICC) and Mushy Ate My Credit Card (Hill Street Theatre) is one man’s cricket quest. Audiences are invited into the boxing ring in Beautiful Burnout (The Pleasance), a National Theatre of Scotland co-production.
The Fringe may inhabit 259 venues in 2010 but that doesn’t stop participants creating work outside the proscenium arch. Site-specific shows this year include a restaurant 100 feet above the city, Festival in the Sky (The Sky Gardens), award-winning theatre company Badac with The Cry (Pleasance) in a car park as are CreativeVaQi with The Dream of Sancho (C) and the Rosslyn Chapel goes site specific with The Apprentice. Scottish playwright Douglas Maxwell’s Decky Does a Bronco (Traverse), from ground-breaking theatre company Grid Iron, makes a return after its phenomenal success in 2000 and takes place around a swing set in a playground. Assembly will also play host to its very own luxury bridal salon in Your Dream Wedding.
There are plenty of treats for literature lovers with scores of productions based on classic texts. Such shows include Animal Farm (Assembly), Anthony Burgess: A Clockwork Orange (The Spaces), Belt Up’s Odyssey (C), Cabaret Checkov (Zoo), The Diary of Anne Frank (C), Oliver Twist (The Spaces) and Junk (Augustines).
In 2010 Fringe Stand Up is going deeper; introspective ponderings on the soul from Robin Butland’s The Inescapable Misery Of Everything (The Royal Mile Tavern) and Sean Walsh: I’d Happily Punch Myself In The Face (The Pleasance), Ava Vidal analyses her life decisions in Lessons I Should Have Learnt (The Stand), Celia Pacquola will tell audiences about the risk of failure in Flying Solo (Gilded Balloon) as does Sam Simmonds in Fail (Gilded Balloon).
Collaboration takes on a new meaning for several Fringe productions this year, with South Africa working with Scotland in The Girl in the Yellow Dress (Traverse), which is a co-production between Glasgow’s Citizen’s Theatre and Johannesburg’s Market Theatre. Broadway Asia International works with China’s Huairou Management in Reel-to-Real: The Movies Musical (Pleasance). Russian company Nochty are working with RSAMD on The Lonesome Foxtrot (New Town Theatre) and theBeyond Borders Productions Ltd brings England and Georgia together, working with Rustaveli Theatre, Tbilisi on Do We Look Like Refugees? (Assembly). The Polish National Radio Orchestra and Olga Szwajgier Quartet come together in Aurea Porta’s Era Scheaffera (Venue 150 @ EICC).
Featuring 2,453 shows this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe programme is ready to delight audiences from all over the world for three weeks in August. There truly is something for everyone. For the 2-4 year olds Catherine Wheels’ White (Traverse @ Scottish Book Trust) and Phil Kay’s: Gimme Your Left Shoe (Pleasance Courtyard) will entertain all the family; Fringe regulars Edinburgh University Theatre Company’s Improverts (Bedlam) should tickle teenagers and grown up’s funny bones, and for older audience members both Barry Cryer and his wife Terry are appearing separately in Barry Cryer(Gilded Balloon) and Terry and Jackie- Mrs Barry Cryer and Mrs Edmund Hockridge (Gilded Balloon) respectively.

If you are interested in being a Street Team member to help distribute posters and fliers in your hometown, please email: dartour@gmail . com . For tour dates see: http://www . darwilliams . com About Dar Williams "With every album, I’m trying to figure out what I don’t have to say, while still giving each song its due," Dar Williams says. Of her new album, Promised Land, Williams commented, "On this one, I was paring the stories down to their core. I wanted the songs to sound simple and down to what they were meant to be, which is hard to do. It takes a lot of knowledge to get to the point where you can say what you need to say — no more, no less." To peel her insightful, melodic story-songs down to their essence, as well as inject them with the energy and momentum they clearly called for, Williams enlisted Brad Wood, a Grammy-nominated producer and musician known for his work with rock singer-songwriters Liz Phair, Pete Yorn, and Ben Lee. "Dar was looking to try something different and get out of her comfort zone," Wood says. "She had made a number of records and it seemed like a good time, career-wise, for her to make a chan I was flattered that she thought to ask me to help. Her voice is so great that you can do just about anything behind her and it’s going to sound cool!" Personally inspired by the spindly live feel of late '70s/early '80s albums by the Police, Elvis Costello, and the Pretenders, Wood manages to make Williams' elegant, worldly songs sound visceral and urgent, while preserving the integrity and emotion that have been hallmarks of her sound (along with a beautifully intimate, bell-clear voice) since Williams began playing out on the Northeast singer-songwriter circuit in the early ’90s. “Brad understood the songs and gave them the space they needed,” Williams says. “I love that clean, straightforward sound he gets.” And so Promised Land includes several immediately engaging toe-tappers, such as “It’s Alright,” “The Easy Way,” “Buzzer,” and “Go to the Woods,” as well as Williams’ trademark thoughtful balladry, including the keenly felt “Book of Love,” “The Tide Falls Away,” and “You Are Everyone. http://www . darwilliams . com In the past, Williams’ songwriting has located the personal in such universal topics as politics, religion, sexuality, and family. This time, rather than tie the songs together around any particular theme. JAMES McMURTRY will performon Monday 12 October at the The Bongo Club @ 7:30pm JUST ANNOUNCED!!

resource for Fringe fans and performers to share information
and discuss all things Fringe.

One of the great things about the Fringe is the variety of venues you can find yourself in to watch a show. On a great night, with the right performance, even the most unlikely space ceases to matter once you get caught up in the moment. On a very wet August evening, in a pretty non-descript - but very warm - room up Surgeons Hall, Dana Gillespie pretty much managed to make me forget where I was, and transported the audience to a prohibition-era New Orleans bordello. If that seems a little unlikely, let me explain ...
An Audience with Dana Gillespie was an hour of rollicking, risqué boogie-woogie blues. Accompanied by piano wizard Joachim Palden, Miss Gillespie sang her way through a range of blues standards from the first half of the 20th century. It has to be said that none of these numbers could be classified as subtle - with titles like "Big Boy," and lyrics like "you drive me crazy when I play with your toy," the blues is clearly not the genre for those of a modest disposition!
Thankfully, this didn't seem to be a problem for Dana, who explained early on in the performance that she thought that singing the blues really wasn't a job for the inexperienced. From the up-tempo start of "Big Boy" and "Ugly Poppa," through the raunchy "Experience"' to the wonderfully melancholy "St Louis Blues," Dana's rich and soulful voice took us through a blues journey, from risqué humour, to lost love and betrayal.
A special mention has to go to Joachim Palden, Dana's long-time accompanist, and all-round boogie-woogie wizard. As well as accompanying Dana brilliantly throughout the show, Joachim performed a Formula One-paced solo number that blew the audience away - genius.
This was a great snapshot of authentic blues, very well-performed - all that was missing was the bootlegged moonshine...
Dana Gillespie was born to the Baron De Winterstein Gillespie, an Austrian radiologist and his wife. She grew up in England and her family's villa on Lake Maggiore, Italy.[1] She was the British Junior Water Skiing Champion for four years until an injury forced her retirement.
She recorded initially in the folk genre in the mid-1960s, although she was more known at this time for being the girlfriend of Bob Dylan. Some of her recordings as a teenager fell into the teen pop category, such as the 1966 single "Thank You Boy", produced by Jimmy Page. Her acting career got under way shortly afterwards, and overshadowed her musical career in the late 1960s and 1970s. After performing backing vocals on the track "It Ain't Easy" from David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, she recorded an album produced by Bowie and Mick Ronson in 1973, "Weren't Born a Man". Subsequent efforts have been in the blues genre, appearing with her "London Blues Band". She is notable for being the original Mary Magdalene in the first London production of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's Jesus Christ Superstar which opened at the Palace Theatrein late 1971. She also appears on the Original London Cast album which was released the following year.
She is a close friend and associate of Angela Bowie, David Bowie's former wife.[2]
Gillespie is a regular at "Basil's Blues Bar" on Mustique Island in the Caribbean, for three weeks in January through to February. This mostly features her "London Blues Band", but she also invites other acts. In 2005, Mick Jagger appeared as a guest and sang songs such as: "Honky Tonk Women", "Dust My Broom" and "Goin' Down".

The Dog-Eared Collective present: BAD DOG VARIETY
BOX OFFICE: 0844 545 8252

FOR MORE INFORMATION: www.dogearedcollective.co.uk
Acclaimed comedy troupe THE DOG-EARED COLLECTIVE return to the fringe to unleash their latest sketch comedy smack down BAD DOG VARIETY.
The company’s gleefully anarchic style, already likened to ‘The Mighty Boosh’ (Camden New Journal), earned them critical success at last year’s Edinburgh Fringe:
The Dog-Eared Collective leaves no pun unspoken, no sight gag unseen, no entendre left singular in its take-no-prisoners campaign for laughs [...]
More laughs than any other three fringe shows put together
Gerald Berkowitz, THE STAGE on Barnaby Brown: Orphan Extraordinaire
BAD DOG VARIETY is a riotous sketch show where live stunts, comedy and cabaret collide. Join Babs Malloy's Yorkshire & European All-Stars including Signor Love Shark and his puppet Pinky, mystic mind-nester Snaaake and Fantasy Jackson's Sex Gremlin Dungeon Party.
An explosive mix of sharp satirical writing & outrageous physical comedy, it’s a dazzlingly deviant sketch show experience.
The Dog-Eared Collective will be performing at Smirnoff Underbelly at 12.15pm from 31st to 24th August.
