The New Year

Hello.
2006 heh here we are at last.
Well a few things to fill you all in on and not just another rant, you'll be glad to hear!
The main reason for writing is to say that a lot of the projects I have been working on - A film version of Macbeth in London, my film Zombie! (see links bar), the soundtrack to Zombie! and the album I am doing with my friend 'Wonderland Blues' are all beginning to bear fruit.
The Film of Macbeth - This is an independant film I got involved in by having friends of friends who obviously have more time and money than I do. They mounted an intense, professional and hard working totally independantly financed film production and somewhere along the line I found myself having a cameo in the film.
Even better news than my ego being rubbed by having a miniscule part in an interesting and diverse film is that Anthony Stewart Head (he of Buffy, Little Britain, Rocky Horror and Gold Blend fame) agreed to play the role of Duncan in the film!!! and did 4 days shooting with us in January. I was present for one such day and can report that the geezer is a sound and lovely guy!
Zombie! - for any of you that don't know, and if so why not, a couple of years ago I started shooting my own independant genre classic, on and off at weekends and when i had the money. That lasted about a year and a half. Then the arduous task of assembling said film took place. Working around my day job I struggled to assemble a rough first edit of the film. Which, I am excited to say, I finally did last month! and although there is still much to be done it feels like that hurdle has been successfully cleared.
Zombie! Soundtrack - Like I said, there is still much to be done and this was one of those things. So it is again with joy and rapture that I report that two tracks of the Soundtrack have been completed so far! Follow the link and go have a listen!
Lastly I come to the album
The Crowd That Entertains present... Wonderland Blues
Is an album that my friend and I are creating at the moment. We are several songs into the project and when it is finished we will hopefully present it in a live show in London!

So all this and a few other side things mean that for the moment I am a busy busy chappy, but then idle hands are the devils playground so I suppose it is a good thing.
the other thing that I will be concentrating in the very near future will be a comedy show with my writing partner. this will be a new birth for the old show Scandia-Hus and I really really really can't wait!

See you soon!
