Looking for something a little different on Night 6 of Perth Fringe?

Dundee's own Zambian-Scottish artist James Liandu is bringing his raw, soulful sound to Perth Fringe.

Refusing to be boxed into one genre, James creates music that's honest, heartfelt and completely his own, blending storytelling and powerful melodies into a performance full of emotion and authenticity.

Catch him tomorrow evening at La Cave à Vin, 7pm and discover an artist with a sound as unique as his story. Please note that this performance has moved from its original venue at the Salutation Hotel.

Can't make tomorrow's performance? You'll have another chance to see James when he takes to the stage at Perth Theatre on Friday 11 September for a donation-based show.

Then make a night of it by exploring the fantastic Fringe entertainment taking place across Perth.
