The junction point for the entire space-time continuum...

...is Thursday, Febuary 15th 2007

It seems tomorrow is going to get slightly busier than expected. Besides going to Sandi Thom's gig (as I mentioned below), I've been called in to do a voice over and found out that I've landed a part in a viral for Getty Images which is also shooting tomorrow. To crown things off, the same company is asking me to audition for another project (guess when... that's right, tomorrow) and Siri and I have made plans to meet up for a "Valentine? Bah Humbug" coffee. Awesome.

Might go and ask Doc if I can borrow the DeLorian...

Sandi Thom and the Magic 6-Ball...


Hey boys and girls.

Well, while the year is slowly kicking into gear, auditions are starting to come along and the first gigs are coming through, I want to tell you about a little success story of some friends of mine...

Anybody who has been following the charts recently will at some point have stumbled over Sandi Thom and her Janis Joplin-Like (almost-) A Capella single "I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker".

The feisty wee Scottish lass with her beautiful voice (who was in my year at LIPA) really doesn't need any publicity from me. But the fact that she's invited me to come see her gig at Islington Academy on Thursday and that she practically nicked my band deserves a little attention.

Yes it's true, three quarters of "The Magic 8-Ball" are currently the line-up for Sandi Thom. Not that it would be anything unusual. Marcus, Craig and Scotty have always proven themselves musical whores and moreover, a lot of us used to hang out together. I can't wait to hear them again!

If you haven't heard the album yet go and check it out. I like it a lot, and even if you don't: Buy it anyway! It's keeping my boys off the street.

Thanks for the invite Sandi, I'll see you on Thursday...

Gone with the wind...

Well, I was gonna fly to Germany today but thanks to 99mph gale force winds, I spent over three hours on a bus getting to Stansted. They closed down the M11 motorway because apparently 2 trucks got blown over. The following picture served as the backdrop to this tedious story:

I always enjoy the irony of those warning signs...

Of course I arrived 10 minutes after my plane took off and therefore spent another 2 hours in turning around and getting back into London. I did however manage to stay dry. Wonder if this guy did:
