Acoustic Graffiti - blues, latin, jazz

Fringe Review

To the kitsch, though comfortable surroundings of the Royal Mile's Crowne Plaza underground bar come Nick Caldwell and Steve Jervis, and their jazz/latin guitar stylings. Both lads have around 20 years of live performance under their belts, and it shows in their highly-skilled, complex style. They come across as extremely affable, down-to-earth people, unafraid, for instance, of openly using some old underpants to wipe the sweat from their hyperactive strumming hands. If you're into jazz/blues guitar, or are yearning for a bit of soothing respite from the stress of the High Street, come on down to see Acoustic Graffiti, a pair who are passionate about, and committed to their craft.

Acoustic Graffiti - Out of Nowhere

Two blokes, two guitars. A pinch of blues, a soupçon of jazz, a dash of latin spice, sprinkled with crispy bacon bits. Join Acoustic Graffiti on their Fringe debut. No whistling on the way out!
