All Aboard for the Fringe

Long-time readers who have managed to plough through my inarticulate, alcohol and drug-fuelled Fringe ramblings may remember that for the last couple of years, myself and a couple of friends have ended up in bars, in the small hours of the morning, singing hits from a children's compendium called All Aboard; this LP featured such classics as Ernie, the Fastest Milkman in the West, Alright Said Fred, The Laughing Policeman, The Runaway Train, The Gnu Song and, of course, Rolf's maudlin and simultaneously uplifting Two Little Boys...

Last year, Caro, Macca and myself were joined by a newbie.

This year, we have already indulged in the same practice, but joined by Tim Fitzhigham, a splendidly bearded and very proper gentleman...

I suggested that we should actually produce a show, starring Tim and Macca, based on All Aboard and put it on in the Fringe. It was basically a joke.

But, bloody hell, they've actually decided to do it!


I expect a free ticket, you know...

Meanwhile, your humble Devil is reprising his role as the near-alcoholic, philandering, philosophy lecturer, Ray, in This Lime Tree Bower during Weeks 2 and 3 of the Fringe this year.
