Edinburgh Festival Fringe

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.

The Land That Never Was tells the true story of Gregor MacGregor (yes that is his real name), a Scottish soldier-turned-conman who sold a country that literally did not exist. Blending confessional stand-up, storytelling, and a whole lot of bullshit. This is a show that looks to the past to examine where we come from, where we are now, and what the future may look like. It's a show about a group of strangers who collectively believed in something that doesn't exist... yet.
