OOTB 562 – 26th April – Dog On A Swing

Hello to all you sweet tasty suckable dragees out there, snugly wrapped in light coloured waxy paper denoting what flavour you might be to tingle our rough tongues.

This week’s featured act has become a very popular and regular performer with his distinct style of song-crafting. Ed Ritchie is a much respected and long time contributor to the Edinburgh music scene, with his catchy rhythmic songs about love and social anxiety. He will be playing with his four-piece acoustic band a few songs from ‘On Love’, as well as material from the EP he is currently working on.

In his own words:
“My name is Ed and I play music under the name of Dog On A Swing. It’s a cross between a solo project and a band, named after one particular GIF of a dog in a tyre swing. The first studio EP, On Love, was released in 2013. You can stream it (and buy hand-numbered CDs) by visiting dogonaswing.co.uk . I’m currently looking to play as many gigs with as many people as far as I can go!”

Open slots this Saturday are there for the taking. Sign up time is around 7:15pm-7:30pm and then OOTB unzips the zip at 8pm for an evening of live original performances. It would be therefore considered by those of high standing in this land to be ‘oh so silly’ to miss this one.
