This website is dedicated to the wonderful and unique Edinburgh Fringe Festival and all the people who make it happen year after year. Thank you!

I moved to Edinburgh at the beginning of 2006 and that year my friends Cec Darker and Cleo Silvestre who are the artistic directors of the Rosemary Branch Theatre, a small studio theatre situated on the borders of Hackney and Islington in London introduced me to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with a wonderful play called “Ella, meet Marylin” written by Bonnie Grier. Ever since then I have been a fringe addict.

One of my absolute highlights was during the 2009 festival when friends took me to a performance of Camille O’Sullivan at the Assembly Hall. Like everyone else I was immediately enchanted by her performance, her voice, her musical and artistic talent and her charming personality, no wonder that Stephen Duffy of BBC Scotland and the local press refer to her as the Queen of the Fringe. The snapshots of Camille that you will see on this website were taken at the International Festival. Camille and her fabulous pianist and composer Feargal Murray also performed at the International Festival  this year where they gave a stunning performance of Shakespeare’s “Rape of Lucrece” at the beautiful Royal Lyceum. Just the perfect stage for this compelling production.

I would love to share my passion for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival by sharing some of the pictures with you that I took at the festival in August 2012.

Enjoy!
