Description
Endless Sunset Oblivion tells the story of Reuben – a young songwriter attempting to combat the accelerated problems the world is facing. Packed with heart and courage, it should be straightforward… but can one song save the world? Through a compelling blend of live music and life-affirming, often humorous storytelling, The Lonely Together's Mike Baillie weaves an enchanting David and Goliath tale for the modern age – a story on the state of the world.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

A great show of story telling and great music. Mike takes you on a musical journey exploring themes that impact us all in our daily lives. A show that makes you think and also a show that entertains….highly recommend

This show is an hour and a half. I knew that going in and I was happy on the assumption that it would be a story told mostly through song, like a concept album performed live. Alas it was mostly monologue with maybe 3 or 4 songs scattered in. With some serious cuts to the script and a lot more music (it’s a show about music!), it may have been alright.

A really great performance from Mike of The Lonely Together. Incredibly thought-provoking content about the state of the world, mixed with some immense acoustic versions of the tracks from their new album. This is a MUST see!

Really loved the show. It was great storytelling, poetry and music. Mike is one of Edinburgh's finest musicians, without a doubt - with such a gift for crafting epic-sounding songs so the subject matter, with Reuben's journey to deliver a mind-blowing, world-changing track, is ideal to showcase his music, while he enters a new world of the one-man-show format. Good acting, some well-placed funny moments and, of course, emotive songwriting.

Can a song save the world? It’s good to dream that this is possible and Mike Baillie takes you on an engaging and heartfelt journey to find out. Armed with acoustic and electric guitars, to help bring to life the epic soundtrack, Mike’s performance holds your attention as you will Reuben on!

Can a song save the World?! In a World full of lunacy and lost hope The Lonely Together front man Mike Baillie strikes a tone that many shows wouldn't dare. In a blend of pertinent story telling, beautiful song and poetry there's lots of to invest in, enjoy and ponder. Think art-house versus raw talent; honest reflection of the highest order. An experience you won't get anywhere else this festival. Do it!
