Six Mics, No Luggage: Back in Edinburgh for Fringe 2007

We're back in our second home, Edinburgh, for our third go at the Fringe Festival. Despite our year off in 2006 it certainly feels like we're almost an integral part of the Fringe now. Everyone knows who The Magnets are, we've got a great part time slot in the Assembly Ballroom - one of the top venues, and we've even sold some tickets!

That doesn't mean we'll be resting on our laurels though. The secret of Fringe success is in hard work. We'll be here, there and everywhere, guesting on shows for anyone who invites us, and promoting the show everywhere from the free stages on the Royal Mile, to swanky corporate dos in the evening.

As a band we've been through a lot since the last time we were here in 2005. Our last Fringe show 'Magnetude' brought us a major production deal, and a world of trouble. We still don't really understand what happened. One minute we were playing to packed houses in Berlin with our show Vox Pop, with gigs in the diary into the next year, and a production company for whom money seemed no object. The next we're left high and dry, with no gigs, and a large debt.

So, once again we've found we're better off doing things our own way. The gigs are rolling in, nobody is trying to make our show into something its not, we've all gained lives outside The Magnets, and Edinburgh awaits. Six Mics No Luggage? Six Guys, No Worries.
