UKE SPRINGSTEEN
After selling out three consecutive Fringe seasons, founder and creator of the 'Ukulele Death Squad', Benjamin Roberts will take you on a nylon string journey that dives deep into the catalogue of one of the world's greatest songwriters: The Boss, Bruce Springsteen. Created out of pure respect to the songs, this is a show not to be missed this Fringe.
2019 saw Roberts and the 'Ukulele Death Squad' take on the songs of Nick Cave in their show 'Come Sail Your Ships', achieving multiple 5/5 star reviews. Now 2020 sees Roberts solo, accepting the challenge of tackling the hits of Springsteen such as 'Atlantic City', 'I'm on Fire', 'Nebraska' and 'The Secret Garden'.
