Brolly Hook Edinburgh Festival Fringe Fancies 2010


We at Wyrd Web Wonders have been loading quite a quantity of quality images and film footage from the Edinburgh Festival to YouTube so it is only fitting we load some productions of ourselves as a performance art study in response to the performers we have recorded at the Fringe this year.  Some of our backroom boys are actually girls and some of our backroom boys think of themselves as girls.  The artistic mix of the creative mind goes far beyond the parameters of this brief article.  It will not be an article about briefs, although having seen the accompanying film you may think that an article on briefs could be fitting, quite snugly fitting in fact.  This short piece gives PHH Sykes a chance to apologise for at least some of his failings and the opportunity to show his face alongside the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Fancies so that you can see the photographic perpetrator of the Fringe Fancies in the flesh.  The downside of the upload is that too much Sykes is not a good thing.  The upshot of the download is that you only need watch it once to know that your appetites for the Brolly Hook have been fulfilled at a single sampling of the virtual up and down in a once over of the long haired host, but do listen out for tarmac tickling of the Terror of Temple as Tiger the Ginger Delight traipses along the less well trodden tracks of Midlothian.  His wistful look to the distant skyline evokes an atmosphere of longing for shorter productions and fewer supposedly creative pauses spent waffling and waiting around on less than glamorous out of doors sets with a chill wind reaching long cold fingers around preferably fire roasted ginger nuts.

Please note that the sincere thanks of Wyrd Web Wonders go to Gustav Gustafson and to Helga Huffen-Puff.  Without her gracious release and his tireless involvement we could not have shot, loaded and broadcast these brolly related films which we are collectively entitling the Brolletian Trilogy.  No canvas over wire items were unduly stretched, nor inappropriately opened during the course of filming these productions.  Any vast millions of brilliant bright brand new shiny pennies made from the release of these free to view pictures will result in more brollies been released on to a high street near you.
