Neil Kelso presents: Sounds Impossible

★★★★★  Mervyn Stutter’s Pick of the Fringe 2022

A smash-hit at this years Edinburgh Fringe, with a spooky twist. Can a piano summon poltergeists, shivers down your spine, and things that go bump in the night?

When Neil Kelso plays the piano, strange things happen. His music doesn’t just influence our mood, it casts an irresistible spell – everyday objects are brought to life and dance to Chopin, audience members find themselves hypnotised into making unlikely choices by Gershwin, and whimsical rhythms and rare harmonies are harnessed to bend light, contort metal, stop time, and space.

Following his sold-out debut show earlier this month, member of The Magic Circle, and award-winning concert pianist Neil Kelso unveils the secret powers of advertising jingles, unravels the mysteries of the unseen, and magically transports the entire audience inside the piano. Nothing is quite as it seems.

“A remarkable pianist who explores outstanding magic thru the medium of all forms of music.” –  The Herald

“Neil Kelso displayed considerable skill and performed several beautiful tricks but his mastery was in leading the audience deeper into the magic and the mystery until we were fully immersed and grinning ear to ear. He has an incredible stage presence, something like a cross between a bumbling Disney narrator and a Tim Burton character. Wondrous. Five stars.” – Broadway Baby

“He invariably has the crowd eating out of his hand” – On In London

“Hilariously charismatic” – Loverboy Magazine
