Cera Impala and the New Prohibition Band, Pianodrome at The Pitt

It's been almost two and a half years since I last had the privilege of seeing this outfit, and, musically at least, I have little to add to the review I wrote then.  Still as enjoyable musically and as entertainers, the novelty lay more in the setting.  The Pianodrome is an indoor amphitheatre built from old pianos, on which the audience sit and surround the performers. Acoustically it's not all that great, but it's an atmospheric place, albeit not a very comfortable one - cushions were provided and are much needed, at least by those of my generation.  But it's somewhere you should try to experience if you enjoy seeing something different, and it's in use every day of the Fringe.  Worth making the trek out to Leith for.
