Talk:Wikinews wanders the Referendum-year Edinburgh Festival Fringe

Original reporting notes

 * Walked the city for four weeks capturing these photos. Most are tagged with location information over on Commons, which can be cross-checked with Streetview.
 * Didn't end up with blisters until the very last day. :P --Brian McNeil / talk 09:36, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
 * 67th year - started in 1947, so 2014-1947 = 67. --Brian McNeil / talk 10:39, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Fights/disturbances at the High Street taxi rank: Told by several people this rank is 'notorious' for trouble. Presence of two stewards, plus incredibly rapid appearance of police when fight began, clear indication trouble is expected. --Brian McNeil / talk 10:41, 27 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Performer "unpacking paraffin" - can be read off the label by viewing the image at full size.
 * Susana Silva explained that she'd been down-and out, given a guitar, and taken to busking, during a break between songs.
 * Cowshed - "well-liked by performers"; spoke with Pat Dennis (plus several remarks on his FB page) regarding being great place to place, but was no musician's discount on beer.
 * Any other points need clarified, please ask! --Brian McNeil / talk 10:56, 27 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm satisfied the first was in 1947 &mdash; assuming the Festival has been held every year, the difference between this year and that year is the number of additional Festivals held (67 additional Festivals = a lot of performing arts), so this year's Festival would be the 68th.  --Pi zero (talk) 12:07, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
