Latin flare is on on its way to North Berwick after the Cuban Brothers were announced as a late addition to the Fringe By the Sea line up.

The announcement comes as a result of Candi Staton's cancelled European tour, opening a slot for the Caribbean funk band's much-anticipated appearance.

The band has a large following across the globe and will now bring its funk and soul music blended with comedy to the North Berwick stage.

Rory Steel, festival director, said: “The Cuban Brothers are going to get North Berwick grooving like never before.

"They are the ultimate feel-good party band and I know the atmosphere at their show is going to blow everyone away”

The festival has seen massive interest already, with Fred MacAuley’s show having already sold out prompting a move to the Big Top stage with more tickets now available.
