Hey there, time traveller!

Count yourself lucky to see them here. The MTC venue allows a much cleaner, austere aural setting, as opposed to a folk fest stage where your fellow audience members would likely be chatting loudly and the noise from other stages may pull you out of your Fugitives groove.

From the official Fringe Festival program:

“A surprising auditory experience blending elements of bluegrass, jazz, folk and spoken word” – Uniter

“A hypnotic and swirling mix of voice and music that straddles the line between traditional songwriting and poetry” – Vue

“The Fugitives are capable of achieving dizzying, Arcade Fire-ish crescendos, replete with parallel melodies, complex harmonies and brimming torrents of emotion” – Uptown Magazine
