Fringe centre of gravity moves south

Get the Fringe festival programme

"Focus  (of the Fringe) will be increasingly around Bristo Square to the south of the city this year, as Assembly moves from its normal George Street base to George Square, behind the Gilded Balloon, while a controversial refit of its usual venue takes place."  Chortle

 As the Fringe programme was launched yesterday it was noted that with the Assembly Rooms out of action this year more of the Fringe has moved south into the Southside & Newington ward.
