Two native singer-songwriters return to the Fringe with their five-star sell-out show featuring original and traditional songs of Edinburgh and Scotland. ‘Quality voice!’ (Edinburgh Evening News). 'Nicholson's songs masquerade as funny vignettes, but there's an edge to them, like Irvine Welsh dialogue over Travis picking' (List, 2017). ‘Rock-solid quality songwriting’ (Andy Lang, Leith Festival). 'Nicholson's songs are funny, often with a political edge or element of social commentary' (ThreeWeeks). 'Gore is a knock-out, his songs balance beauty with fierce rallying cries of social justice' (Fest).
