As always at The New Current we try to make sure that we get to go to all the place that we know you would want us to go to, review, preview, promote and get some great juicy interviews from.  This year TNC is the ONLY national student media that is going to be cover the whole of this years Fringe Festival.

Edinburgh Fringe has long been an establish home for some of the best shows, previews, and comedy in Europe and between the 7th & 31st August the whole of Edinburgh comes to a stand still for this world famous festival.

Over the next few weeks we are going to feature some of the acts that are going to be playing, some info about them, and where you can catch them at this years Fringe.  For more information about what is going on, who’s is lined up to play, and for a host of other free street acts you can get a copy of the 2009 Programme from your local HMV – please not that some HMV’s have given away all of their FREE copies.  But you can download all the information you need from the fringe website Fringe 2009 Programme

If you are heading to this years Fringe and you know of someone we should come and interview or review then please drop us a comment here or via our email reviews@thenewcurrent.com

One of the best things we get to do here is meet new people doing new things that make us sit back and go ‘yes this is for us’ and it means we get to share it with you, watch out for these guys. No. 10 Productions has already gained some very good press with their production of Patrick Marber’s Don Juan in Soho.

EDINBURGH (Reuters) – A record number of performers from around the world are flocking to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this year despite the global recession, and organisers are hoping audiences will match their enthusiasm.
