The Big Jons have been spotted

This year's programme
Yes - a sighting appeared on Twitter so thank you for the retweets everyone and C Venues for spotting and Tweeting it :) and if anyone spots another one please feel free to Tweet a picture of it or post it on Facebook and help me spread the word about my show.

Another very cool thing to look out for - and I'm in it -  is a virtual guided walk around the Edinburgh Fringe mobile app, VoiceMap, which uses GPS to play audio automatically, at exactly the right time and place so as you walk towards the castle and come within range of Venue 4 you hear me playing the guitar and talking to you. Just like Pokémon really.

Also I've done an interview about being at the Fringe for The New Current and it's now up there online if you'd like to read it.

Look out for big Jons - the countdown to the Edinburgh Fringe



Not long now until I set off to Edinburgh. The tech run is booked for the 3 August. I get to test all the technical aspects of my show - has the chair got all its legs/does the air circulate the same as last year/ er... that's it. It is very trouble free being acoustic.

I've been involved in a few ticket sales boosting activities. I've done an interview for The New Current and become part of a virtual audio walk around the Edinburgh Fringe with a really cool app called VoiceMap

The outdoor posters are going to be appearing all over Edinburgh soon - can anyone who spots one Tweet it to me? Or just tell me in the usual way if you're not on Twitter - I do still talk to non Twitter users!

It will be looking like this although the bigger ones are landscape - there should be some on the railings here and there I think. So it's all getting very exciting.
