Ghost Songs To Die For turns Sussex ghost stories into anthems for Brighton Fringe


In Ghost Songs to Die for with Madame Isolde, performer and songwriter Tristan Wolfe brings haunted legends of Sussex to Brighton Fringe through an hour of storytelling and original songs inspired by local ghost stories.
Part cabaret, part musical ghost tour, the show features a cast of supernatural spirits including a ghost dog, the legendary bathing guide Martha Gunn, and the Theatre Royal’s Grey Lady.
Fittingly, the performance takes place in the Upper Room of The Colonnade, part of the Theatre Royal building itself. So who knows who might make an appearance.
“I was possibly haunted by a spirit that unbeknownst to me already had a local legend attached to it, which obviously inspired me to write a song. Soon afterwards, by sheer chance, or was it fate, I found myself in the ghost section of my local library and uncovered more strange tales waiting to be told in song. Before long, it became a whole collection of ghost anthems, which felt like the perfect show to bring to Brighton Fringe along with my “friend” Madame Isolde, who has returned from 1936 via the astral plane and insists she’s so well-tuned into these matters that she will perform the show.” – Tristan Wolfe


Madame Isolde will also be hosting Madame Isolde’s Crazy Zodiac Cabaret at The Caroline of Brunswick during Brighton Fringe, she promises “totally accurate” musical horoscopes, in between other fabulous acts.
