It worked, and the Edinburgh International Festival visitor might find a suitable festival even at the less rapidly became one of the leading arts festivals of obvious times of the year.

    Press Release Come See Entertainment Presents Oh Là Là! Isabelle Georges The Famous Spiegeltent, St Andrews Square Garden, Edinburgh Press Release Come See Entertainment Presents Oh Là Là! Isabelle Georges The Famous Spiegeltent, St Andrews Square Garden, Edinburgh After four highly acclaimed runs at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the fantastique, féline, Parisian cabaret star, Isabelle Georges Is back for another with the critically acclaimed Oh La La! Her trademark soaring vocals, theatrical delivery and a stunning all-star band, lead you on a passionate journey through the French repertoire and beyond, featuring the music of Brel, Bécaud, Piaf, Aznavour and more. Along with musical director and vocalist Frederik Steenbrink, Isabelle bursts through stories of love, survival and dreams in an unbeatable mixture of jazz, cabaret and pop. Isabelle grew up in Paris listening to her mother’s vocal exercises, her grandmother’s scales and her father’s marvellous stories. She took to the stage for the first time with the Victor Cuno company in ‘From Harlem to Broadway’, and then performed in ‘Marilyn de Montreuil’, ‘Chère Daisy’, ‘Happy Feet’, ‘Phi Phi’ and ‘La crise est finie’, thus becoming a “triple threat”: singer, dancer and actress. She has played a string of leading roles in shows including ‘Barnum’ (Jean-Paul Lucet/Les Célestins Lyon), ‘Le Passe Muraille’ (Michel Legrand/Les Bouffes Parisiens Paris), ‘Nymph Errant’ (Rodger Redfarn/Chichester Festival UK), ‘Singin’ In the Rain’ (Jean-Louis Grinda/ORW Belgium & Théâtre de la Porte Saint-Martin Paris), ‘La Périchole’ (Jérôme Savary/Théâtre National de Chaillot Paris), ‘L’Air de Paris’, playing opposite Patrick Dupond (Thierry Harcourt/Théâtre La Comédia Paris), ‘Et Si On Chantait’ (David Bréval/Espace Pierre Cardin Paris) and ‘Titanic the Musical’ (Jean-Louis Grinda/ORW Belgium), where she met Maury Yeston and Frederik Steenbrink.

  • Dave Milligan Trio

    Dave Milligan Trio

    Dave Milligan Trio The Trio The Dave Milligan Trio, based in Scotland, have been playing a blend of jazz, folk and all kinds of other stuff for nearly fifteen years. Dynamic, engaging, humorous, dazzling, uplifting, the trio’s performances have consistently thrilled audiences and critics alike over the years. All band leaders in their own right, Milligan, Bancroft & Lyne have developed an empathy that can only come from years of playing together. Critics have at times drawn comparisons to piano trios such as The Bad Plus, Brad Mehldau, E.S.T., Bobo Stenson and even Keith Jarrett, but always recognising the group’s strong, distinctive folk-tinged identity that sets them apart. The Dave Milligan Trio’s debut album Late Show has received rave press notices for its warm, soulfully melodic approach and collective understanding, and the group continues to develop as a very unique musical voice. In a world full of many great piano trios, this is one you have to hear live. You won’t regret it. Dave Milligan Dave Milligan, born and raised in the Scottish Borders, is a pianist whose musical imagination flows freely between jazz improvisation and the traditional airs and dance meters of his native Scotland. In a professional career spanning fifteen years, Dave has performed throughout Europe, USA, Canada, Australia and Asia. Many will know him from his earlier work in mainstream jazz with leading figures such as Carol Kidd, Scott Hamilton and Art Farmer, but in more recent years Dave has also become familiar to a new audience. His interest in traditional & folk music inspired a unique crossover piano style which has featured most prominently in the critically-acclaimed Bachué, with harpist and singer Corrina Hewat, in the duo with concertina virtuoso Simon Thoumire, as a core member of the Catriona Macdonald band, and in the 22- piece folk orchestra The Unusual Suspects, which he and Hewat masterminded.
