Fringe Review: Out of the Blue

Wow, what a lively show. The boys are constantly moving, living and dancing from within their music. What seems slightly over-exuberant at the start of the show is completely natural by the end of it - these guys love their music so much, it's like you're seeing what they're like when they're alone in their rooms and singing just for the love of it. As I say it's slightly odd at the beginning, but it gets you hooked.

I've heard the music of Out of the Blue for a few years now, but as the group is constantly cycling as people graduate out of university, it's always good to revisit them from year to year.

There are no real suprises in the show, no innovative staging or tricks, just excellent voices and a great selection of songs, some songs only appearing as they're weaved subtly into other songs.

Nothing much else to say really, except that these boys certainly do justice to the already renowned name of their group. Voice highlights include Calum, Will and Joe. I had the pleasure to sit next to Calum's mum, she was a hoot, I can see where Calum gets it from.. [chuckles]

Out of the Blue plays at "C" Venue until August 27th.
