BBC Festival Cafe Live at Potterow

8/7/2012

Those students who arrived early enough to the BBC Tent got the opportunity to attend a live taping for BBC Radio Scotland. Festival Cafe is a show that exhibits bits of Fringe Performances as publicity for shows on the Fringe. Among the shows exhibited was FORK, the a capella Electropop vocal circus from Helsinki. We were actually so impressed by their performance at Potterow that we bought tickets to their show on the way back to our flat. We had a great time that evening. :)

Additionally though, the chance to watch a radio host prep her live audience, and to see a radio show onstage in front of you was an interesting fusion of not-so-different broadcast mediums, and the opportunity to hear it all unedited and uncut was extremely valuable. The portion wherein one of the FORK performers seemed to have some particular difficulty understanding the federal censorship laws for radio was especially illuminating.
