It's that time of year again - festival time! Producer Kelly and Rosalind hit Edinburgh recently to catch some food and drink shows and we were not disappointed.
First stop was the Malt Whisky Society on Queen St. There they enjoyed the Whisky Wanderer experience where you learn all about the different whisky regions through an imagineative and eye-opening whisky and food pairing. Rosalind chats to host Bethany Grindle, who is a true whisky fan and aficionado.
The team battled their way through the throngs of people over George the Fourth Bridge and up to Summerhall for The Speakeasy Experience. This show was an absolute hoot which included two Pickerings-gin-based cocktails. Tour-guide and performer Marina told Rosalind all about what visitors can expect from the show.
Rosalind and Kelly then headed along to the Cowgate to their final show of the day, some stand up with Alan Anderson and Whisky for Dafties. As the title indicates this show is indeed for everyone as no knowledge of whiskey is required. There is a quite a bit of booze drank throughout and you may even learn something if not about whisky, then the people in the audience - good fun all round.
You'll hear some vox-pops they did throughout the day too chatting to people working and attending the fringe - that is, when they could find people who weren't just eating pot noodles and meal deals - that's the fringe for you!
