Royal Over-Seas League is Fringe venue number 19 Its address is Overseas House, 100 Princes Street, Edinburgh EH2 3AB, which is in the Princes Street area of the city. See a map of this area. The venue's website is www.roslarts.co.uk - but you cannot book tickets online through this website. The box office telephone number is FringeGuru's review of this venueFor many years the ROSL, a private members' club on Princes Street, has offered one of the best and most comprehensive programmes of classical music to be found on the Fringe. The club runs several recitals a day, each tending to focus on a single composer but drawing in the odd work from his contemporaries; all feature accomplished professional musicians, often young and emerging in their fields. The performance space - a non-descript function room at the end of a warren of tired corridors - doesn't make an immediate impact, but once the music starts you'll see it is well-chosen. There are few distractions from outside, and the air-conditioning can be a merciful blessing on a hot day. The whole enterprise radiates civility - which other Fringe venue offers to take your coat at the door? - and the staff are genuinely knowledgeable about the music being performed. The breakfast performances, at 9:30am, make a particularly pleasant warm-up before the hurly-burly of a Festival day. The one regret is that the programme of events is so short - it doesn't start until well into the Festival period, and ends before the popular final weekend. Eating and drinking at this venueRefreshments are served after each performance, inclusive in the ticket price, in a nearby clubroom. They're accompanied by some of the finest views of Edinburgh Castle around. The ROSL's Castle Restaurant is also open to the public.
