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.

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.
