Swing into Spring

On Friday 1 March, Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ's Great Hall was temporarily transformed into" Frankie Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ's Jazz Club" for one night only for our Edinburgh Fringe Fundraiser – Swing into Swing. Seated at club-style tables, the audience was treated to jazzy sets from the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ’s Swingers and the Soul Band, as well as some pop from the Flute and Guitar Orchestra. The Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ’s Barbers and Belles enchanted with an a capello version of Coldplay’s Fix You before the Barbers ended with what has become their signature tune, Billy Joel’s The Longest Time. Another highlight of the evening was a medley of songs from Stephen Sondheim’s Company, which is this summer's Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ’s players' Edinburgh Fringe Festival production. Solos from Charlotte Curness, Charlotte Carver, Liz Austin, Max Llewellyn, Provhat Rahman, Josh Dadzie, Ashley Agedah, Charlie Layburn May Al-Shawk and Dom Innes-Taylor all proved that anyone who is in Edinburgh for the 11-16 August has a treat in store.
