From Alexei to Jeremy, and much in between - Edinburgh Reviews 3 & 4

Both of my final compilation roundups of Edinburgh festival shows have now been published in the Morning Star. The third one - Sayle, Spoiler Alerts and Symphonies - can be found here.  And the final one - Clementine to Corbyn - is here.

This final review has been truncated more than usual to get in what was originally a separate story on Jeremy Corbyn's two appearances at the fringe. Obviously, a paper like the Star often has to do this to get stories in at all. What is remarkable is how much they have managed to retain from the original - hats off to the subs!

On the website edition, the ratings for the shows in the final review have disappeared. For the record, they were as follows.
Benjamin Clementine 3/5; Bad Roads 3/5; Contesting the Spirit of Unity 4/5; Assessment 3/5; Anoushka Shankar 4/5; In Conversation With – Barry Crimmins 4/5; Bonnie Fechters 4/5.
