When the former first minister of Scotland and now ex-MP Alex Salmond announced this last-minute fringe run, it sold out faster than you can say “independence in Europe”. Perhaps punters were seduced by the promise of (as the title runs) “Alex Salmond ... Unleashed”. He’s buttoned up no more, and we buckle up for juicy gossip from behind the scenes of Scottish and UK politics. Instead, Unleashed is an hour of music, clubbable chat with a special guest, and some reflections on Scotland’s historical ties to Europe. Salmond may consider himself unleashed, but he’s not letting his audience off the chain.
