Arts Award on Voice

Bringing the power of authentic folk music to life, Ellie Ford and her backing band delivered yet another memorable performance at Brighton Fringe.

This show rode on a wave of two successful elements – neither of which had much to do with the intended routine.

The most honest and heartbreaking experience I had down in Brighton…

A beautiful installation in a garden, with poetry readings by Brian Mander to help set the tone.

A pair of painfully hungover comedians who tickled more ribs than the majority of (apparently) sober performers at the fringe. Perhaps they're onto something…

This hard-hitting stand-up routine aimed to break down generalisations.

Fringe theatre. It proves a test of how best to express something, while using as few resources as possible.

A ridiculous show full of deception and stupidity.

A fun and interesting twist on fairytales, performed by Sole Rebel Tap, two very talented tap dancers.

The Fringe represents the arts on the fringes of taste. For many, this automatically means of the worse taste. To those, I say, Dave Chawner will prove you wrong.

Deep in the Heart of Me is one of the more changeable shows of Brighton Fringe; terrific in points, losing its grip on the audience in others.

A symbolic, interpretive performance, which, when it clicked, really clicked.
