Outside The Original - Prog Classics Sun Apr 11th 2027 3pm-5-30pm

“they captured the classic progressive rock spirit compellingly” David 
Edwards 
Outside The Original is an exciting project from James Finnigan of Hue and Cry and Stiltskin fame.  
We are a prog rock show performing the music of ELP, early Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull. 
We aim to perform these classics with authenticity and flair, to keep this music Live for future audiences. 
 
 
Having played coast to coast in Scotland and Northern England, Outside the Original has firmly established themselves, as the only must see 
prog rock show in the UK. 
Outside the Original perform an exciting 2 hour show, where you will hear prog classics including Firth of Fifth by Genesis, Heart of the Sunrise 
by Yes and the King Crimson classic 21st Century Schizoid Man as well as many other genre defining classics. Indeed the band recently 
performed the seminal album by Genesis 'Foxtrot' including Suppers Ready in its entirety. 
“Don’t miss this journey through the sounds that defined a generation!”

ONE MOMENT ROLLICKING, THE NEXT HAVING SHIVERS 
Outside The Original: LIVE @ Voodoo Rooms Edinburgh 2026 
Some of the things I noticed were during (firstly) “Get ‘Em Out By Friday” from Genesis was the guitar tone. It was spot on. If I closed my 
eyes, it could have been the original being played. The band presented the drama, the humour and pathos of the piece so well with 
singer Gerry managing to portray the various characters within the song. 
I also love the spirit and energy they brought to “Karn Evil 9″ (first impression) by ELP. It was a rollicking, hard rocking version which had my 
head going and had me singing along! 
One of the absolute highlights of the show was “Starless” from King Crimson, it was truly beautiful. The interplay between sax and guitar gave 
me shivers. Not an easy song to play (mind, are any of these actually easy to play? Probably not.), but it was so precise. If memory serves, before 
this specific song Gerry described this as “more prog than prog” whilst laughing (he also asked cheekily if there “any prog fans in,” the answer 
was definitely a yes).
