The Song of Fergus & Kate

'Fergus himself was a little stunned and stared with eyes like dinner plates then said: ‘My name is Fergus'.

She replied: 'And mine is Kate'.

In that very second, each of them had found a friend whose souls would remain entangled from now until the end.'

The Song of Fergus & Kate is an interactive adventure that uses storytelling, music and animation to encourage children to celebrate their differences.

'The animation and music really make the story come alive, perfect for my hyper four-year-old, the right amount of story to action' (Audience member).

One4Review Edinburgh Fringe 2022

This is probably one of the sweetest shows at the fringe and takes us on a lovely journey of animation, interactive play, songs, and bubbles.

Jay introduces herself as the narrator of today’s story and she wants us to have as much fun as we can. One-part baby sensory with, bubbles, silks, and shakers, a one-part story that encourages the acceptance of difference. Older children get to engage with shell hunting and spelling their names in the sand. Jay is a clear entertainer and extremely engaging with the children throughout. She uses funny faces, jokes, and songs to make sure everyone has fun throughout.

This is a fantastic story, accompanied by illustration, animation, music and cut-outs is an hour of joy for the family. Although at times the music was possibly a bit too loud, forcing Jay to shout over it, and although some moments of subtle chaos, you leave with a smile on your face and everyone happy about the experience.

The Skinny Edinburgh Fringe 2022

Filled with the charm of a children’s cartoon, The Song of Fergus and Kate is a quaint story about friendship and embracing differences that any child would find fascinating.

After being called a monster because of his hump, Fergus runs away to the beach where he meets Kate. The two spend time playing on the beach, showing the importance of acceptance and not judging people by how they look. Filled with an innocence and simplicity, this is a show that is perfectly made for children and would shame any adult whose belief system falls contrary to the plot line.

Accompanied by an animation on a screen behind the stage, this story is told in a gentle rhyme that is incredibly comforting. The stage becomes the beach, and there is a natural beauty and unearthliness that is recreated. With small breaks to include us in the storytelling, this show has an easy charm and warmth which would delight children and evoke a sense of nostalgia in adults.
