EDINBURGH 2019: BWW Review: THE SORRIES, Quaker Meeting House
by Fraser MacDonald - August 7, 2019

The show is more of a natural extension of The Corries rather than just a tribute to the band, as the songs and stories are always evolving. From the song collections of Robert Burns and Sir Walter Scott to the much more modern Green Fields of France, The Sorries' setlist cannot fail to impress.

EDINBURGH 2019: BWW Review: NICK HELM, PHOENIX FROM THE FLAMES, Pleasance Dome
