THE FINGASK FOLLIES


“You will leave the Follies humming an old tune and
thinking a new thought”- Andrew Threipland

like the Edinburgh Festival – only far less strenuous!”

Each show has the same format: four singers, two actors and a piano but a different title, theme and content which are conceived annually at Fingask Castle. We pride ourselves that the shows are slick, funny and thought provoking: Cole Porter, Plato, Milton and Mozart.
DATES FOR 2009
This year's season is coming to a close. We performed at Fingask Castle; Stradsett Hall, Norfolk; the Polish Club, London; the Glasgow Art Club; the Royal College of Physicians, Edinburgh; Balgray, Dumfriesshire; Solsgirth House, Kinross-shire; Glen Tanar Ballroom, Aboyne, Aberdeenshire and Southfield House, East Lothian.
