The Segue Sisters in… Jailbirds

The Segue Sisters are a close-knit harmony group with a difference. They ride on personal mobility vehicles. Or rather they would if health and safety rules at the Gilded Balloon allowed. Instead, we have to pretend that they could as they harmonised some thoroughly modern popular tunes of the day against the backdrop of a story involving them going to jail for stealing too many popular songs.

Actually it is hard to believe these sweet lovely girls could go to jail for anything. Well, maybe writing cheesy stories to hang their act off, although they are not the only ones at the Fringe guilty of doing that…

The ladies are lovely whatever they do and perform some great versions of Alice Cooper’s “Poison” and Lady Gaga’s “Telephone”. Singing “Sweet Dreams” by Eurythmics without accompaniment also gives a chance for their vocals to shine. Delightful late night entertainment.
