First week on tour – Sell-out!

Julian is accused...

Following on from the opening sell-out nights at Druimfin, when ticket-seeking locals and tourists had to be turned away in their droves, Accidental Death has continued to fill halls on the Highland leg of the tour.  From Invergarry to Birnam, the “Sold Out” signs have been pasted over the posters as news of the hilarious ceilidh-cum-farce travels faster than a Glengirnie text message.  This all bodes well for the fringe and news filtering through suggests that ticket sales for the first night at The Acoustic Music Centre @ St Bride’s are going extremely well.  Book now!  Go direct to the AMC website and call to reserve your tickets.  Still one of the chepest deals on the fringe – £12/£10 conc for 90 minutes of live music, ceilidh dancing and murder!

Accidental Death of an Accordionist to open Druimfin

The Accidental Death of an Accordionist will start reheasals in Mull Theatre’s brand new Production Centre at Druimfin near Tobermory at the beginning of July.  We are reliably informed that when the show opens there for preview on Friday 18th and then the official first night on Saturday 19th July, this will be the very first production to be performed in the new facility. 

Whisky Kisses performed for Prince Charles

At the end of May, students from several courses at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama (RSAMD) visited St James’ Palace in London to perform before Prince Charles and other VIPs.  Among the performers were six representatives from the post graduate Musical Theatre course and an excerpt from Whisky Kisses was chosen as the finale to the whole evening’s entertainment!  Apparently, the royal host was suitable amused by the presentation!  It’s been a long-held ambition to appear on the London stage… not quite sure if St James’ Palace qualifies as the West End, but as far as Dave and I are concerned, the show appeared on a stage in London, therefore we have officially made it!  Hilary Brooks, our Musical Director, assured us the performance was very strong and after the show, some high-profile dignatories let it be known they enjoyed the piece and asked for tickets for Whisky kisses at the Fringe.  Result!
