Utter! - now with moving images

Want to know what’s on this week at Utter! Spoken Word? Here’s all the details.

The powers behind Utter! have been so busy bringing together the Edinburgh Fringe’s finest collection of spoken word talent that there’s been no time to actually update the blog here. But let’s rectify that now. Utter’s had a great first ten days at the festival - big, happy audiences and some brilliant performances. And donuts. Let’s not forget the donuts.

To give you a taste, here’s some video from Utter! Scots on the 11th, which saw everything from some hypnotic Shetlandic verse by Christie Williamson to Robin Cairns attacking a table with a leather belt. This video, however, shows guest host for the evening Jenny Lindsay pithily getting to the root of the Scottish character with “In Scotland We Know We’re Fucked”.

Meanwhile, here is a picture of Milton Balgoni, apparently summoning the devil.

Don’t forget, Utter! Spoken Word is on at 5.30pm every day until August 29th at Fingers Piano Bar on Frederick Street, just off Princes Street (here’s a helpful map.) And of course, it’s free. Hurrah for free things!
