While there are many fun things such as the Speigel tent and more, a festival needs to evolve and Edinburgh has been going since the 40s! More streets available for new musicians to perform – say blocked of streets near Princes street with a central place to buy their cds – similar to Montreal’s Blues and Jazz festival. The sun casts late rays across the High Street blinding anyone walking towards the castle. Playing any festival is a buzz. There’s that exaggerated feel to it all – heightened senses. Many eccentic and colourful street performers of every nation brought together for thsi biggest of festivals - from Australian scouts to north Americana Indians. I had the best time and here’s hoping for sun and fun shows next year. See ya there 2008!
