GBA 70 Superbard

Summary: GBA Edinburgh Festival 2012 Season: Three weeks of episodes related to the Edinburgh Festival 2012 (This was last year's season: http://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/sets/fringe-festival-season) In GBA 70 we get better acquainted with Superbard (aka George). He talks about telling stories, playing instruments, the God number, developing, refining and improving work and being an optimist. It was recorded at Edinburgh Waverly Station last Sunday after a weekend of hardcore Edinburgh Festival-ing. It's the episode I've been most exhausted while recording and has had the fasted editing turnaround of the series so far, with the majority of it being edited on the train back to London. This is the second episode of the 2012 GBA Edinburgh Festival Season (http://goosefat101twitterspills.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/around-year-ago-getting-better.html) Over the next few weeks there will be conversations with people doing shows up there this year plus on Friday they'll be this year’s Edinburgh special documenting my journey into the opening weekend of the festival, mixed in with previews, reviews and extra snippets of conversation. George has a brilliant show. We talk about it in our conversation. And I went to see it in Edinburgh before we recorded the conversation. It charmed me completely (in a good way!)
