Saturday morning was busy for me. I was trying to get all of my camping gear together for a weekend trip in the Scottish Borders whilst at the same time trying desperately to catch Catriona performing on the Royal mile with Edinburgh Samba School. Once the rush job on packing was finished I headed into town and on to the mile. I walked just past parliament square and found myself surrounded by people wearing scotch bonnets with fake ginger hair. This was my first impression of Clandemonium.
Their idea was to gather as many people from the crowd as possible to make music and dance. There were various groups, or clans, marked by the colour of their bonnets, who were given different tasks for the performance. There were dancers, drummers, body precussionists and kazoo players. After a little instruction the performance started. It was energetic, fun and drew a huge crowd of people. For me and my camera it was gold. I could get right in the action and managed to get some really great shots of the event. Here are a few pictures to whet your appetite:
