Hi all, as there are a few fellow posters from the United Kingdom on here, and in case anyone is interested, I thought I would give advance notice of two concerts I'll be giving as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this year. The venue is St Mark's artSpace (Fringe venue 125), 7 Castle Terrace, Edinburgh EH1 2DP. (Map: http://ed.thestage.co.uk/venues/st-marks-artspace )
