Singer-songwriter Wrenne hails from Utah and currently lives in rural Leicestershire. She has many strings to her bow, with her website describing her as “Utah Child. UK Artist. Electronic Truth-catcher. Post-Mormon-Disney-Punk. Video-maker. Storyteller. Collaborator. Runner. Mother.” She brought all of these qualities, and more, to I Said Yes To Everything, her mesmerising one-woman show, which is being performed daily throughout this year’s Edinburgh Fringe. This multimedia performance was truly an immersive experience and a visual and sonic treat.

Edinburgh’s intimate and atmospheric Sneaky Pete’s was the venue for a varied and entertaining night of music on 29th July, promoted by Edinburgh-based singer-songwriter, composer and multi-instrumentalist Amy Duncan.
The opening set provided us with some angular and intelligent indie pop/folk, courtesy of Candythief (spearheaded by local singer-songwriter Diana de Cabarrus). Her striking original songs were interspersed with a couple of imaginative covers, including an atmospheric take on St James Infirmary Blues.

Galloway-based singer-songwriter Zoë Bestel brought her unique and captivating brand of nu-folk to Edinburgh’s Voodoo Rooms on 4th May, as one of two special solo concerts to launch her eagerly-awaited second album, Transience. There was a real buzz in this intimate space, as Zoë Bestel took to the stage and informed us that she would be playing all of the songs on the new album in sequence. This required some switching between tenor and baritone ukuleles between songs, while Bestel kept us entertained with her charming and engaging chat and banter.

The elegant and stylish Reid Concert Hall at the University of Edinburgh provided a splendid setting for a very special concert on 28th April, when Siobhan Wilson played the penultimate date of her UK Spring tour. She was accompanied by her good friend Matt Rawlings on guitar and the sumptuous strings of special guests, The Demi Octet. This tour was an opportunity for Siobhan Wilson to celebrate the resounding success of her most recent album, There Are No Saints (which a number of music journalists included in their lists of 2017’s best albums) and to showcase a couple of new songs, before starting work on her next album.
