Check out Estrondo and this really groovy sound! Their 22 piece percussion band put on an agile and animated display at Brighton’s Fringe City at the start of the Fringe and the crowd shoogled in their shoes! The Brazilian music makes you want to party with its rich diffusion of Ameri-Indian, Portuguese and Africian sounds.
Last year they performed at the Joogleberry Playhouse, now known as the Latest Music Bar. A change of venue this year saw them performing at Volks Bar in Maderia Drive. Hopefully Estrondo will be back next year for a longer run.

How supremely topical this show is with the “Mother of all Parliaments” in dire straights and a constitutional crisis simmering away in the background! Election Idol takes a satirical look at the British general election in 2010 where celebrities challenge the established political incumbents. Not so far fetched however in the light of superb investigative journalism by Heather Brooke who exposes a rotten parliament of political careerists.
Election Idol have hit on a rather topical winner as they present their alternative musical candidates to challenge the established order. Written and created by the award winning team of William Christopherson, Tamara Samuels, Andrew Brinded and choreographed and directed by Luke Sheppard, Election Idol presents musical mayhem with a light hearted look at flipping politics!!

Harmony Glen are four highly talented Dutch musicians with their unique interpretation of traditional and contemporary Irish music. We filmed Nienke Bijker, Dominique Bentvelsen, Sjoerd van Ravenzwaaij and Vincent Pompe van Meerdervoort at Fringe City on the afternoon of the 4th May. Sadly they were only on for one night that very evening with their show The Thrill of Irish Music at the Latest Music Bar in Manchester Street.
Their support band for the evening was Cargo, the Bluegrass Irish folk group with Terry Lees on guitar, dulcimer, mandolin and vocals, Chris Page on guitar, mandolin, dobro and vocals and Jim Lowton on fiddle, mandolin and bodhran.
Hopefully they’ll be back for a longer run.

So cruise on down for a show to brighten up your day.
