Hi All This is an SOS out to all of you who have ever fancied being in a music video – I'd love to have some of you up there on screen with me for new single Be My Saviour. Grab a hairbrush/broom handle or your Gran/child/pet and do your stuff. Mime the track off […]

In my last blog I said I’d let you know about one of the best days I’ve ever had. It happened two weeks ago. And In my blog In October last year I mentioned October's Book Of The Month: 'MORE TIME FOR POLITICS' – Dairies 2001-2007 by Tony Benn, in which I was stunned to […]

I went to see the new film ‘Control’ by Anton Corbijn on the life of Ian Curtis of Joy Division the other night. I thought it was great. I’d recommend it. It reminded me of the film ‘Pollock’ about Jackson Pollock starring Ed Harris that was out a couple of years ago. They both really […]
