FESTIVAL BOX OFFICE

Our front cover was designed by Emily Cowie, P7 at Gullane Primary School.

A muckle big hello and welcome to another fabulous incarnation of Fringe By The Sea! With last year’s bold approach to programming receiving such lovely feedback, we have been working hard to emulate its success and we hope you’ll agree that we have another awesome line-up heading to this delightful little corner of East Lothian.

Music is once again a strong and varied highlight. With US R&B legend Alexander O’Neal, Scotland’s own super-songstress Eddie Reader, electronic music pioneers Groove Armada and the indie-rock giants Idlewild among those taking to the Simpson & Marwick Spiegeltent, you get our drift… And that’s before we even start thinking about gigs in the North Berwick Fry and elsewhere!

As well as keeping the recently extended 10-day format, we’re packing lots more family, literature, comedy, film, community and environmental events into the programme – more than 160 in total.

We’ve been busy beavering in the community to develop deeper local partnerships with the North Berwick Community Area Partnership, North Berwick Youth Project, the Scottish Seabird Centre, North Berwick Library, North Berwick Movies, East Lothian Countryside Rangers, North Berwick in Bloom and North Berwick & District Probus, to name but a few. And from slightly further afield, Soundhouse and Speaker Buzz are bringing yet more quality performers to the festival.

We’d like to remind you that all this wouldn’t be possible without the support of the local community, passionate volunteers and generous sponsors. To all of them we say an enormous "Thank You", especially the North Berwick Trust.

We hope you have a wonderful time at the festival and please do recommend to friends and family near and far Scotland’s Freshest Festival. Enjoy!

Blue Rose Code

A nomad both geographically and musically, Edinburgh-born Ross Wilson writes from the heart, eschewing any specific genre, and the twelve songs on new album "The Water Of Leith" addressing themes of love, loss, travel, home, accepting the past and embracing the future, are painted with colours of folk, jazz, soul and pop; an eclecticism that has become a hallmark of Blue Rose Code and has seen him compared to John Martyn, Van Morrison and Tom Waits. 'All I know is, this album makes my heart swell. Filled with emotion and yearning and exploration of Scotland inside and out, it’s a splendid edifice. Here’s to its architect!' – Ian Rankin
