Sala: Royal Over-Seas League, Edinburgh

One of the delights of the Edinburgh Fringe is getting into venues you might pass by routinely all year and yet know nothing about. The Royal Over-Seas League in Princes Street was a case in point: it provided a charming boutique venue with a bar giving views of the Castle, Princes Street Gardens, and the street itself, busy with people at the start of this festival.

The Royal Overseas League (RSOL), occupies the auspicious address of 100 Princes Street, Edinburgh. It looks out over the city's historic skyline, the most westerly point of which is the prominent Castle Rock.19-year-old local guitarist Sean Shibe is the winner of the 2011 ROSL Annual Music Competition, Strings Section – only the second guitarist in 59 years achieve this.
