Description

After a long hiatus, Aki Remally (vocals, guitar) and Fraser Urquhart (piano, keyboards) make their return to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. They delve deep into the work of the revolutionary poet, jazz musician and rap pioneer whose lyrics expressed views on politics, culture and social injustice – expect a whole lotta funk, jazz and soul tunes from Gil Scott-Heron’s repertoire. Also featuring the powerhouse rhythm section of Max Popp (drums) and Tom Wilkinson (bass).
