CROWDFUNDER

Picture the scene: you, midweek, sitting at home in your ethically foraged socks, debating whether another night of staring at your walls counts as “self-care” or just a slow descent into madness. Well, fret no more! Salvation has arrived in the form of the Totnes Fringe Festival Fundraiser, a night so glittering, so unmissable, that to stay home would be a betrayal to your very soul.

Let’s be clear.

This isn’t some dreary, sad-eyed charity gig where an off-key banjo player warbles for half an hour while you feign interest in a damp raffle prize. Oh no. This is Totnes at its dazzling best—a raucous, riotous and thoughtfully beautiful evening featuring three of the finest singers this town has ever hosted. Mae Karthauser, Holly Ebony, Poppy-Jayne Jones, plus a comedian to make you laugh uncontrollably into your locally brewed ale, Edward Tripp, plus three extraordinary poet-wordsmiths Ione Harris, Geoff Petty and Laurie Page. A jazz duo so effortlessly cool they probably sleep in minor seventh chords JAZZIENT. AND INCLUDING a storyteller to spin the kind of tales that make you question your own existence Henry Everett.
