The Spinning Blowfish

Throughout August in Edinburgh there are surprises waiting at almost every turn and around each corner.  On our way from venue to venue we happened across a great sound at the foot of the Mound.  This band was a delight to dance to and to photograph.  Unfortunately the party after this musical surprise somewhat dulled my memory and I did not remember their name.  Fortunately I have been reminded that this band are The Spinning Blowfish.

ThatLadyWithTheCamera  http://www.flickr.com/photos/47911363@N05/ was kind enough to make a comment on this set on Flickr which has given me a chance to link these pictures to the band.  If you have a chance to see the band and to buy their CD do not pass by if your feet are tip tapping and your hands are clapping join in the fray and enjoy a musical interlude to your day.

The Buffalo Skinners

No Buffalo were harmed when these Skinners set to work on The Royal Mile in Edinburgh.  They describe themselves as a, “Zyde-folk & Roll band born in Scarborough, England.”  With passion and flair they are worth making time to see their set.

Day 1 Edinburgh Festival and the Fringe is out on full display

The crowds are beginning to fill the Edinburgh streets and some performers are entertaining them on the cobbles and tarmac whilst others are tempting of the streets with the lure of artistic performance.  The Edinburgh Festival 2012 has begun and there’s room for everyone.
