SUMMARY:The Fool’s Flock’s Comedy About a Vampire - Colchester Fringe
DESCRIPTION:When plague hits the village of Bottomswort\, Gunther is forced to flee. The last thing he expected was a Vampire named Vladd. \nBe transported to the medieval village of Bottomswort where a vicious plague is racking its residents and a spate of mysterious disappearances have left the town on tenterhooks. Desperate to find salvation\, the only hope for the village would have been Humbolt the Brave; too bad the pustules got to him too. So\, the fate of the village lies in the hands of Gunther\, a pig farmer who’s always happy to step up to the plate. \nWith the arrival of the castle-loving\, ‘red-wine’-drinking\, sunshine-hating Vladd of Vladestan\, murmurs of a vampire haunting the land start to fill the air. Gunther\, with simplicity as his shield and stupidity as his sword\, quickly falls into harm’s way. \nIn this love letter to sketch shows of the past\, the Fool’s Flock present a tale full of gothic wonder. Blending puppetry\, slapstick and poor decisions\, the team are all playing to their strengths in this interactive comedy.

SUMMARY:Marcel Kapteijn & The Raindogs @ Anchor Inn Nayland UK
DESCRIPTION:Marcel Kapteijn\, is truly a singer’s singer\, of world famous pedigree (in the band ‘Ten Sharp’) who plays a fine 6 or 12 string and sings straight from his soul. Leadsing the ‘Raindogs’\, a threesome who play a bunch of beautiful songs you might have heard on the radio or Spotify. Sander Schuurman\, plays the six string acoustic but also delivering some mean dobro parts and harmony vocals of course. Nico Dobber\, a great drummer but as that would make too much noise in their setting\, he’s on guitar\, bass\, various percussion\, harmonies and small talk. Musically\, they are on the Americana road\, check out their album “Rivers And Roads” with tracks like “River Of Gold”\, ”Eyes On The Road” “Once Upon A Town” and “Echo Park” but they have about a 100 songs under their belt. These song diggers are always delivering because they love what they do and so will you.
