Just got back from the Prague Fringe Festival for my 7th year. It was really FAB this year. I had a GREAT couple of reviews which I will post up.
It rained with a apital R, while Scotland was bathed in sunshine which I felt a little cheated by, but Prague is so beautiful and filled with history and character that I was still wisked away.
I was playing from Tues 26th May- Sat 30th everynight, had lovely audiences and fantastic response. Want to thank all of them for giving me such a warm response. Lots of people have been coming back to see me year after year, so a lot of happy people walking away with their copy of Crows, Rooks and Ravens.
Please read on for Prague TV review and Prague post review...:-)
The Prague Fringe Festival
Andi Neate
If you haven’t seen Neate sing, you should. But go early, as anyone who has seen her perform at past Fringe Festivals will be standing at the door waiting to get in. Neate, a Scottish singer-songwriter, is a one-woman Voice and Verse, and seeing her directly after the talented Irish lot is the perfect Celtic night cap. Neate’s mellifluous voice, which ranges from the quietly wistful to pub forte, covers a songbook that extends from folk and country to rock and jazz, all prefaced with a bit of storytelling about the songs origins. She’s a generous performer, one that an audience quickly surrenders themselves to. I’ve written about Neate before, and feel I’ve exhausted my supply of superlatives. So, just go. And as she’s playing three more night in Prague, go again. U Malého Glena

Prague Fringe Festival favorite Andi Neate returns for her 7th year to Prague and anyone who is lucky enough to get a ticket will be so very glad she does. This tattooed Scottish bad-ass with a voice like an angel and who plays a lot more than three chords on her guitar (go see the show to know the reference), shatters the expectations of what is possible in the atmospheric U Maleho Glena. Creating a unique sound reminiscent of the best of Suzanne Vega, Ani Difranco and Dolores O’Riordan, Neate captures, transforms and reinvents the idea of singer-songwriter and transports the audience into her very special world. Highlights include the songs “Tails from the Circus”, “Home” Along with The Crying Cherry and In A Thousand Pieces, this is the best of the fest.
