Flearoy- At the fringe

Post by Porty » 26 Aug 2005, 15:10

Well, not exactly.

I just got back from watching her "perform" at the bus stop outside Russell and Bromley on Princes street.

Sony have set up play station Krakatoke at the bus stop, ingenuis. It is Flearoy's job to sing and to encourage passers by not to be passers by but to sing. She is having brilliant fun and people are certainly happy.

I'm thinking it takes some cahones to stand on that thouroughfare without alchohol and sing but she appears to relish it.

I didn't have a go but PoP and I are going up later and I may. :oops:

Great stuff and good on Flearoy. I've seen the bus stop you mean with the built-in monitor, but only at night on the way back from hob-nobbing at the film fest. It must be a great atmosphere!

Well, did you? And if you did, what was your big number?

Your daughter is one brave lady for sure.

Maybe she'll get a recording contract from some passing label mogul. This time next year, she could be a millionaire! 8)

Not sure what's sadder here. You using the word "neat" or apparently liking the Stones. :twisted: :wink:

No I didn't as we ran out of time on Friday but I'm pretty sure I would have bottled it

This happening again or was it just on Friday?

The oppotunity to sing out over Princes Street.... :D

Can imagine the sound of shop windows shattering...

It went on for two weeks but is over now, until next year.

The show has moved on elsewhere.
