FRINGE: Swing To My Lulu – Nexus – 3.5K
There’s a little bit for everyone in this show – from the classic jazz-club feel of the tables, to the switch from soul to blues to old school pop to the fine, fine sounds emanating from the talented musicians on stage, this is one show that can easily be enjoyed by a broader audience than seems. 3.5K

FRINGE: Spirit of Africa – Nexus – 3K
As will be unsurprising to anybody who is a fan of traditional African music – the upbeat rhythms and the inescapable enthusiasm of all the performers was absolutely infectious and totally thrilling. By the end of the show most of the room was on their feet, dancing frenziedly to the high energy act and clearly having the time of their lives. 3K

FRINGE – Music – Katie Noonan and the Captains – Spiegeltent 4K
The majesty of the spiegeltent encased Katie Noonan and her new band The Captains. The audience each felt like they were alone with the band, it was a very intimate experience. The band, through their music stole your complete attention, it was as if you didn’t even want to look away, in case you missed something. 4K
