REVIEW: The Late Show: Basement

The Late Show

Basement

The Otherplace

FINISHING off the night at The Late Show in the basement was soft, and relaxing, with an apparently French Chanteuse and her smoky throaty blues heavy songs with just the right streak of anger and hope mixed in. This was a late night laid back show, with no pretension and just a candle lit basement, and some good quality performances, it was so laid back there was no listing info about who was on, hence my inability to include the young ladies name in this review (apologies to her!) The Late Show aims to have a selection of performers from across the fringe on stage, so it’s a different bag of stuff each night, which is all part of the fun.

They promise every show featuring a different line-up of the best that England’s biggest Arts Festival has to offer and Friday nights line up was quality.

The venue is distressed brick, cabaret tables, and lots of long black curtains to set the atmosphere perfectly.

It was the first night for the bar and they could do with less door staff and more bar staff at the busy times , apart from the waiting to get served it was fine, music was quality, people were interesting and the experience was settled, mature and worth going back to. With free entry to fringe performers and artists this might be a venue to watch as the fringe passes, it was certainly a relaxing way to end a long night.
