Shlomo with special guest Steve Lawson at the Edinburgh Fringe
For more info see and
As part of his amazing show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 20011, Beatboxing genius Shlomo invited a different guest to perform a completely improvised piece with him each evening. These were recorded and sold as a compilation album to make money for Médecins Sans Frontières (feel free to donate at msf.org ). So this is a completely improvised piece, with no prior discussion of what we were going to do. Enjoy! (Big thanks to Clutch Daisy for videoing it!)

????Will You Go Lassie Go (Medley)????Pipes & Drums Of The Black Watch????
Will You Go Lassie Go (Medley) Performed by the Pipes & Drums Of The 1st Battalion Black Watch.
The Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) was a Scottish line infantry regiment of the British Army in existence from 1881 (as the Royal Highland Regiment (Black Watch)) until 2006. The regiment was created in 1881, as the Black Watch (Royal Highlanders), by the amalgamation of the 42nd (Royal Highland) Regiment of Foot and the 73rd (Perthshire) Regiment of Foot.
As part of the Scottish Division, it was the senior regiment of the Highland Brigade. The regiment's name came from the dark tartan that they wore and from its role to watch the Highlands. The 'Black Watch' was originally just a nickname for the 42nd Regiment of Foot, but was used more and more so that, in 1881, when the 42nd amalgamated with the 73rd Regiment of Foot, the new regiment was named the 'Black Watch (Royal Highlanders)'. The uniform changed over time, but the nickname has been more enduring. The regimental motto was Nemo me impune lacessit (no one attacks me with impunity). The Royal Stewart Tartan was worn by the regimental pipers to reflect the status of 'Royal' regiment.
In 2006 the regiment was merged with the Royal Scots Borderers, the Royal Highland Fusiliers (Princess Margaret's Own Glasgow and Ayrshire Regiment), the Highlanders (Seaforth, Gordons and Camerons) and the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders to form the Royal Regiment of Scotland, becoming the Black Watch, 3rd Battalion of the Royal Regiment of Scotland.
The Black Watch was formed as part of the Childers Reforms in 1881 when the 42nd Royal Highland Regiment (The Black Watch) was amalgamated with the 73rd (Perthshire) Foot to form two battalions of the newly named Black Watch (Royal Highlanders).
During the First World War the 25 battalions of Black Watch fought mainly in France and Flanders, except for the 2nd Battalion which fought in Mesopotamia and Palestine, and the 10th Battalion which was in the Balkans. Only the 1st and 2nd battalions were regulars. A number of authors state that the regiment was given the nickname Ladies from Hell (Die Damen aus der Hölle) by German troops, allegedly on account of their kilts and fighting qualities, although it is reported that no German sources to support the claim have been found. (Scottish troops wore kilts up until 1940).
Battalions of the Black Watch fought in almost every major action that the British military was engaged in during the Second World War. Most notably engaging in the Battle of Dunkirk, the Battle of Normandy, and fighting as Chindits (42 and 73 columns) during the Burma Campaign. The Black Watch was fiercely defeated by German Fallschirmjäger and Gebirgsjäger during the Battle of Crete, in May 1941. The regiment was the first to cross the Rhine and into Germany during the Allied advance in 1945. After the war, in 1948, the two regular battalions were merged into one.
The regiment won honours after the Battle of the Hook during the Korean War in November 1952, and were subsequently involved in peacekeeping in various parts of the world; the same activity for which the regiment was raised 250 years earlier.
During the state funeral of John F. Kennedy in November 1963, nine bagpipers from the regiment were invited to travel to the United States and participate in the funeral procession from the White House to the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle. They performed The Brown Haired Maiden, The Badge of Scotland, The 51st Highland Division, and The Barren Rocks of Aden
It was the last British military unit to leave Hong Kong in 1997 and played a prominent role in the handover ceremony.

The Dials - Angeline (LIVE)
The Dials performing 'Angeline' live to a full-house at Whistle Binkies, Edinburgh, Scotland.
Ghost of ~The Banshee Labyrinth~ Niddry St, Edinburgh ~ Scotland
Half of the club was once part of the infamous “underground Vaults” -once the haunt of criminals, thieves and the very unsavoury. It was in these former slums that many poor and innocent met a very grisly end! Ironically right next door, the front of the club; was once home to one of the richest men in Edinburgh, Lord Nicol Edwards. Edwards was Lord Provost of Edinburgh during the reign of King James VI/I of Scotland & England, and was reputedly a vile man – not only did he abuse his own wife horribly, but he is said to have had a basement dungeon beneath his house in which he at times personally tortured suspected witches before trial.
Now, along with many other spirits, ‘The Banshee’ haunts this Labyrinth. When refurbishing the venue a group of workmen believed they all heard a terrifying scream. A few hours later, one of the workmen received a phone call informing him that a family member had passed away.
/thebansheelabyrinth.com
Most notably an entity known as The Watcher', a man in a long black coat with a tricorn hat and large boots.
Those who have seen him up claim say that, beneath the rim of his hat, he has no facial features whatsoever.
When the pub now known as The Banshee Labyrinth was renovating one of the vaults for storage space, a workman described seeing a woman in a long, old fashioned grey dress.
She had long red hair but covered her face with her hands as she sobbed.
Who are you? he asked. How did you get in here? Can I help?'
He received no reply, and the woman merely continued to cry, before removing her hands to reveal a pale, gaunt face with cracked, rotten teeth.
It was then that she shrieked; an awful bloodcurdling howl which caused the workman to black out in terror. When he came to, she was gone.
By the time he was safely home and nursing a stiff whiskey he received a phone call informing him that a family member had died.
He realised that the spectre he had seen in the vaults was a banshee, a spirit from Irish Mythology whose screams are said to herald the death of a relative.
Edinburgh's Banshee has not screamed since but has been known to sing down in the blackness of those haunted tunnels and has occasionally hurled objects at some of the tourists taking tours of the vaults.
But the Banshee Labyrinth is far from pub's only resident spirit. The main bar area is said to be haunted by a six-year-old girl called Molly, who disappeared in 1841. An old chimney in the building was said to be her burial site, and when it was bricked up, a child's shoe with the name 'Molly inscribed upon it fell out.
Beware 'Ole Jock' in the ladies... On the opposite side of the bar, there have been many reports of paranormal activity in the ladies' toilets, where a spirit known as 'Ole Jock' reputedly slams doors and turns the hand dryers on and off.
He is known for his fondness of pretty young girls, with many women reporting seeing his shadow looming over the doorway, hearing ghostly feet dragging across the floor, feeling his breath on the back of their necks, and some even claim to have been attacked.
Many of Edinburgh's ghost walks end by entering The Banshee Labyrinth directly from the vaults, with patrons given a token for a free drink - which is just as well, because when you've been down there, you'll need one.
