Howdi Folks :) Now is the time...Now is the time...it's been 2 years in the making...two years in manifestation and finally Big Boy's Don't Cry has landed in my very own reality, and it will now almost take over my life for a couple of months. I will be taking this one man play written by Elizabeth R. Davidson on a mini tour!! I will be taking it to London and entering it into a Solo Festival at the Lord Stanley in  Camden to perform 3 shows Friday 19th, Sat 20th and Sun 21st of July.( Solo Festival London ) Then on to Edinburgh I go on to fulfil a dream of mine and perform at my home festival...which just so happens to be the biggest and most exciting arts festival on the planet!! I will be performing from 13-26 of August. If you can make any of the dates...London or Edinburgh...please come along to see a fantastic show!

Big Boy-s Don't Cry Tickets

Big Boys Don 't Cry was written by Elizabeth R. Davidson from Hamilton, South Lanarkshire. Hamilton is the big town next to the small town, Larkhall, where I was born and bred. About 2 years ago I came home from London for my Great Uncle Alec's funeral, god bless you Uncle Alec, a wonderful man. It was there I got talking to my Auntie Rita, who is very pro-active in writers groups in and around central Scotland. She had been hearing all about my venture into acting and began to talk about this one man play from a wonderful writer, a local talent, in which she felt I would be perfect to play the part. She gave me a breakdown of the play and instantly I felt 'I need to do this!!'. Afterwards I returned to London and contacted Elizabeth over the phone to discuss the possibility of performing the show at Edinburgh. I had never met Elizabeth before and, not being very good on the phone myself, she was rightly so reluctant to send me her work, as this contains part of her soul. We decided I would pay her a visit when I returned home to Scotland for Christmas. I went to see her on boxing day with my Aunt Rita and we discussed my intentions. She asked me to read the script there then...and my oh my...I felt she had written it for ME!! I HAD TO DO THIS!! After reading it, Elizabeth could see I connected with it, she could probably feel I connected with it too, she was more than happy to give me her blessing to perform her work. Which made me a relieved and happy chappy!

Unfortunately Elizabeth passed away last year having been in poor health for some time. She has written many fabulous works, with the like of Tenement Tales selling out many runs in and around central Scotland. A fantastic talent and listening to those who knew her well, a wonderful lady. I am very grateful to Elizabeth for allowing me to perform her work, I will do everything within my Will, to ensure I do it justice. 

Hope you all can come and enjoy her work and see me perform! Don't be shy...GO BUY NOW!!! :)
Much Love All x

18 Months - A film by Andy Stelmach (2013)

Hey All,
Here is a link to a short film completed earlier this year by the very talented film-maker Andy Stelmach. You may have seen an earlier short we created together 'Disorder', which I posted on my blog at an earlier date (it's still available for a peek if you scroll down). This is our second collaboration together 18 Months. We spent a weekend filming in a remote guest house near Stoke on Trent, with a very fabulous cast and crew.
I have to send out a big congratulations to Andy, Tom and Matthew who all  have graduated from Staffordshire University with a first class honours Degree in Film Technology, very well deserved of course. The future is very bright indeed,  next stop, feature film.....Spiralling perhaps?? :)
The film will be posted on my blog for a short period of time before it has to be taken off as it will be soon entered into various film festivals where it hopefully will receive the recognition these young talented film makers deserve! Hope you all enjoy!! :) Feel free to leave any comments by the by...they are most welcome!! :)
