Razzle Dazzle and All that Jazz

Tonight we did something jazzy.
After eating at No.12 Quality Street, we went to see the Scottish Jazz Allstars at North Berwick.
This is part of the Fringe by the Sea series of concerts and events that now take place annually as a sort of satellite part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
For the first time though, the famous Spiegeltent had made the trip down the coast and was erected by the harbour, near the Seabird Centre and this was where the concert took place. It was a packed house and a fantastic venue for this type of thing, although the organisation of the bar could maybe have been a bitty better.
Joining the Allstars for the gig was the legendary Scottish folk and blues singer, Tam White.
The whole event was brilliant and I hope the Spiegeltent is brought back next year.

I think it's quite a feather in North Berwick's cap to host events such as this and they need to blow their own trumpet (and trombone!) a bit more to ensure that the event goes from strength to strength.
