Saving the best 'til last!
This was our penultimate booked show and the final of this genre and wow what a joyous way to end the Fringe Festival. My only complaint is that the 45 minutes went by far too quickly. We just didn't want it to end. The choral harmonies were divine and the song choices inspired, while the setting in St Mark's church was acoustically well suited to this type of concert. Please keep coming back.

Hurry hurry....the last performance is today.
I cannot recommend this performance highly enough. Such pure voices,
and a lovely setting. Loved it from beginning to end. I am already looking forward to next year, fingers crossed.
Something for everyone, from toe tapping and clapping to sheer delight and a poignant tear.
A very talented group of young people. Congratulations on a five star performance.

Absolutely gorgeous! A really lovely blend of pop, folk and classical repertoire, beautifully performed by exceptionally talented singers. Charlie Holliday's rendition of 'Holding out for a hero' was fabulous!

The best vocal ensemble in Edinburgh this year! Absolutely brilliant to see Foot Notes back in Edinburgh again after a year off. As always, their vocal chemistry was absolutely outstanding. They are without doubt the best acapella group in terms of vocal performance - their overall sound, blend and tone is fantastic and the absence of handheld mics in the acoustic of St Marks Church makes the sound quality so real and raw. If you only see one acapella show at fringe this year, make it this one.
