EDINBURGH 2016 - Review: CAT LOUD'S WAYWARD GIRLS, The Space, 12 August

Cat Loud begins her performance by stating that everything she is about to tell us is true. She was walking home one night and took a wrong turn. She met a white rabbit and he took her down the rabbit hole into a hidden speakeasy. I do have my doubts about the veracity...

Swigging from a hip flask, Cat Loud takes us through a 50-minute cabaret set. She has a wonderful jazz voice and performs new arrangements of the likes of "Light My Fire". Between songs she tells us more about the people that she meets in the speakeasy, with a couple of amusing anecdotes added in.

Cat Loud's Wayward Girls is pleasant enough, but it isn't a particularly exciting evening. The venue is ideal for the style of cabaret and gives a very intimate setting.

Cat Loud's Wayward Girls runs at The Space until 27 August.
