NEWS that one of Scotland’s greatest pop legends has been booked for North Berwick’s Fringe by the Sea will make you wanna shout! Singer Lulu (pictured below, by R Purvis) is set to appear at the annual festival on August 7 – 57 years after releasing her debut single Shout, which catapulted her to international fame at the age of 15. In 1969, she was part of a four-way tie winner of that year’s Eurovision Song Contest with her song Boom Bang-a-Bang, and in 2015 she wowed young crowds when she appeared at the Glastonbury Festival. Also booked for Fringe by the Sea this year is perennial favourite Eddi Reader, former lead singer with Fairground Attraction who released her acclaimed solo album The Songs of Robert Burns in 2003.
