After a lull of 3 days we started the weekend with a bit of culture at Three Mo’ Tenors at Assembly @ St George’s Church. Lorraine has persuaded me to cast my festival going further than comedy again, what with flamenco last year, and Havana Rumba this year, so a…
4 nights in a row
Frankie Boyle finished off our 4th night in a row at the Edinburgh (Fringe) Festival. Having seen him at least once (maybe twice – I can’t quite remember) at The Stand Comedy Club here in Edinburgh, I was expecting some close to the bone humour, and he delivered 🙂 Nothing…
It was Kylie!
Well spotted Lorraine at Havana Rumba! on Saturday night. Noted here in the venue web blog. Blm
Ed Byrne

Web Calendars
For several years I have organised my diary through a webcalendar on my own webspace. I have recently discovered Google Calendar and thought I would give it a plug here as it is extremely usable. Migrating from webcalendar was a simple as exporting to ICal format, saving it to disk…
RGB vs Composite
