Pulling together a host of well-
meaning, spiffily-clad and shamelessly talented Edinburgh bohemian types in the brand new surroundings of the Voodoo Rooms, Neue Liebe, performance-poetess-about-town JL Williams’ (pictured, right) cabaret evening, is back for the new year. We’re promised fire-dancers, poets, acrobatics and burlesque turns alongside music from Dominic Waxing Lyrical, Wounded Knee, and Laura Lewis and Her Tea Dance Orchestra,
before all the dancing starts.
