Classic big band jazz and swing from across the ages, played by a very big band indeed – back for our regular slot at the Fringe. Join us for charts you'll love from Count Basie, Glenn Miller, Melba Liston and Duke Ellington, all the way to the present day, plus some more left-field choices. Dancing in the aisles is strongly encouraged, or sit back and be blown away by this wonderful, timeless music.

Songs and stories from the award-winning Scottish troubadour’s back catalogue. A unique blend of Americana/Scottish roots combined with the unfettered enthusiasm of a rock’n’roller and the sympathetic delivery of folk’s best storytellers. A spellbinding live performer, armed with a searingly soulful voice, skilfully crafted songs and earworm-inducing melodies, Dean’s travels have taken him from Scotland’s post-industrial heartlands to the panoramic vistas of the US deserts where he recorded his recent album Sinner’s Shrine with desert noir icons Calexico. Plus special guests. 'Intoxicating' **** (Rolling Stone). Best UK Act 2021, 2022, 2023 (Americana-UK.com).
