We have been out to the theatre for the
first time since the computer acted up again. Hopefully we will
get a few months problem free and should start getting to the
theatre again. The Glasgow comedy festival is underway and we are
getting news about shows coming to The Edinburgh Fringe Festival
2005.

Happy New Year

Sorry for the delay in the
festive greeting but due to a misunderstanding by our server we
have been off line for a month. We will be frantically trying to
get things updated now we are back. We have a review of Jason
Byrne's appearance at 'the Stand' and should soon have one for
"Topping and Butch".

In this dreech damp weather it's always
good to know you can get a good laugh in Scotland. Geoff and I
went to 'The Stand
Edinburgh' on the 11th and had a great night! Four really good
comedians and a female compare who could keep most of them in
their place! See the full review in the non
fringe section. We hope everyone is prepared for the
festive season and look forward to seeing 'Kiss me Kate' at the
Festival Theatre in Edinburgh from Tuesday 14th December 2004.

Last night we went to see CHESS
Performed by Kirkcaldy Amateur Operatic Society in the Adam Smith
Theatre, Kirkcaldy, Fife, on from 22nd to 27th November 2004. We
both agree that the musical is not performed as much as we think
it deserves and you can see Geoff's review on line now.

Technology is wonderful when it works.
Sadly I am a bit of a technophobe and when the computer acts up I
am helpless. Geoff does his best.
However things seem to be working
again. New reviews posted in the NON

the Barricade and
Jekyll

Due to illness we were unable to see

time. Unfortunately due to continuing illness there was no
possibility of rescheduling these shows. Have a great last
weekend and we look forward to seeing you all next year.

Unfortunately the fringe flu
has really affected our viewing this year, Geoff has soldiered on
as much as possible but even he succumbed. We have sadly either
missed productions or where possible rescheduled. We are still
trying to cover shows in this last week and appreciate any
pointers to shows and reviews of shows you have seen. There are
some productions that are selling out and we can't get in. Have a
great last week and we hope to see you in the passing.

Thanks again to Andrew J. Moran
who has reviewed Bourbonitis
and Paul
Merton's Impro Chums for
us as we couldn't get tickets. He has also reviewed Des
Clarke, Dan Antopolski – A Whim Away, Mark Thomas and Anvil
Springstein – Bingo Nannas and Other Causes of Terrorism, please
see the page for E-Mailed
reviews.
Sorry to any shows I miss
today as yes I have finally succumbed to the Fringe flu and had
to spend the day trying to recover. Geoff however is soldiering on
regardless.

hot and sticky venues. Yet we all try to soldier on. Thanks

The weather has improved
again and the Royal Mile is back to its full to bursting mix of
performers selling their shows. Sunday sees the annual Fringe in
the park, so we are all hoping for the weather to stay fine.

My second day at the

more often). At last I managed to get a ticket for One

boy was it worth it.

Well we got the better weather as all the
performers on the Royal Mile can testify, let's hope for more
improvements tomorrow. If you have a ticket for 'One flew
over the Cuckoos nest' you are one of the lucky few, although rumour
has it that there are a few available each day!

the Royal Mile. Lets hope for better weather tomorrow.

The tropical storms dampened everyone's enthusiasm
somewhat and fewer shows actually sold out. Despite the
weather we have seen some excellent shows. Let's hope the
dreaded Fringe Flu wont strike as usual but the weather isn't
helping.

Thanks to Adrian Gillott who is in 'Lost'
in the Belly Button @ 1.15pm 5th to 29th August (not 18, 25) for
your kind comments about the site we do our best. Also to Nick
Long from 'all's well that ends well' at Rocket Venues (Roxy
Art House - 115). Geoff and I try to cover as much as we can, but
as we find more shows and companies we'd like to see after our
programme is made up, we sometimes find it impossible to do
so.

I wonder if all you 'Neighbours'
fans out there know that two cast members are performing in
the fringe.
Jonathon Dutton (Tad) is in
"MEN", Pleasance Queendome at 16-05, 4th to 29th August
(not 10, 17).
Jay Bunyan (Jack Scully) is in "The
Packer", The Garage, Grindlay Street at 16-00, 8th to 30th
August (not 16, 23). I also got to meet the playwright Dianna
Fuemana.

Our first really busy day this fringe so here's

and GB launches and had previews of shows we are hoping to see,
shows we wished we had known about and one or two we hope to
avoid!!! (no names mentioned!)

The first full day of The
Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2004 and the Scottish weather is as
usual not playing the game! It was hot and sticky, yet dull and
damp! However the first few shows soon cheered me up! Geoff
doesn't get to join in till tomorrow, so the first two reviews are
up to me!
Oh and due to popular
demand we have sold out and had to start awarding star ratings!

Edinburgh is really beginning to buzz and
the first shows start tomorrow, Wednesday 4th August. The venues
are all working hard in preparation and more performers are taking
to the streets. I was fliered by N I E (New International
Encounter) who perform "My Long Journey Home" in
Pleasance Above 16-00 to 17-00, 4th to 30th.

Oh my goodness but where has the time
gone? It's now the 2nd and things start on Wednesday! Well as you
can see from the site Geoff and I are hoping to be very busy. This
all depends on getting tickets and shows not running over too
much. #
Geoff was in Edinburgh yesterday,
Sunday 1st August and our first award goes to Cambridge
ADC "Five Visions of the Faithful" V 34 C Chambers
Street 22-20 to 23-20, 4th to 30th, who were
the first to flier him four days before the show opens!!!!

Not long now till this years Fringe! We
are well on our way to finalizing our plans and the shows we hope
to cover can be seen on each index page for 2004. We look forward
to seeing both old friends and meeting new ones. Our schedules are
due to change If we are unable to get tickets for a particular
show or the venues or times change. Sadly the Wigwam is no longer
a venue and we are having to reschedule shows we had hoped to see
there. As we see each show the name will be mentioned on the daily
news letter and be turned black on each index page.
I got to see Donny
Osmond on the 16th July the review is in the non fringe
section.
See you all soon love from Sheila
and Geoff

At last we seem to be back up and
running! apologies to those whose reviews have vanished we should
have them up within the next week or two. We are frantically
working on this years fringe so if you are performing or have any recommendations
we will do our best.
As Geoff and myself both have full time
jobs everything is done in our spare time if we can find any. Due
to illness I am still playing catch-up.
As you will see over the next few weeks
we are still planning a full schedule, our viewing is dependent on
the various performers, agents and venues allowing us in to the
shows. So far many of our old friends are back and one or two new
adventures are planned, our plans are as ever due to last minute
change but we do our best to fit things in. As we advance with our
preparations you can see details of each show on the relevant
index page see below.
