Marc Burrows and Friends sing the Britpop Hits

From the creator of The Britpop Hour and The Magic of Terry Pratchett comes a brand-new Fringe show, for two nights only ... It’s 1995 all over again, and we’re playing the hits.

Comedian, music journalist and actual gigging musician Marc Burrows performs a full set of classic Britpop tunes—Blur, Oasis, Pulp, Elastica, Suede, Sleeper, Supergrass and more—in a heartfelt, irony-free acoustic session that’s part VH1 Storytellers/MTV Unplugged, part pub lock-in, and all killer no filler. With occasional guest singers and plenty of crowd singalongs, it’s a love letter to the last truly British moment in mainstream pop.

Expect stories, context, and jokes from someone who was there, writing about it and listening obsessively. Come ready to sing.
