THIS SUNDAY, i.e. TODAY: Midday at HYDE PARK PICTURE HOUSE Everybody missed the following:

The Fallen Trapeze
Director: Dir. Rob Blake
Duration: 25 mins
Country: UK
Year: 2010
Synopsis: Well, it’s short notice we know but this sunday we’re very happen to be hosting the premier of Leeds based Brown Bread Film’s second short – THE FALLEN TRAPEZE…
Lust, love and villainy in the raw and seedy underworld of Franco’s Bigtop – a failing circus on the edge of collapse. Debt and loss have pushed our character’s friendship and livelihoods to breaking point. Will the circus survive the death of the beloved Esmerelda – the most talented performer of the troupe?
The screening will be accompanied by a performance by David Thomas Broughton. Don’t miss this last chance to see Broughton’s unique live show before he takes a year long sabbatical.
Also showing “Ain’t got no sole” the video to David Thomas Broughton’s new single, shot on the set of THE FALLEN TRAPEZE.

Brown Bread Films are a Leeds company that creates short films, commercials and music videos. This screening is a fundraiser for some fabulously ambitious new short film projects they have up their sleeve so come, enjoy, and help some nice people at the same time.

Thanks for those who came, sorry I was unable to let you all know in advance. Try to get Brown Bread screenings wherever you can.

More to be said soon…

Self Googlation

Yes, I do it too!

…and of course it f***s me up.

…but it feeds my ego in the same proportion, which keeps me pretty balanced. Here I found a footage of myself playing the Tanned Tin – this day I was playing with Damon&Naomi, Wave Pictures and Aidan Moffatt. Anyway – see me pratting about and giving it some on my videos page: HERE

But aside from that I am urging an importance onto this piece… The guitar case pool is the tipper though.

And while we’re at it, they just squeezed out the number two of the Fantasy Podcast, best of the 2000’s on cokemachineglow.com – see what that they done gone clipped my tune… never mind, they made a special note of allowing separate download of both the songs I did for them: GO here and download the buggers http://www.cokemachineglow.com/podcast/5145/fantasycovers2010-parttwo

So this is what I was first about to tell you…someone found a rare home recording of a song I have writ about how great life is, they have then stuck it at the end of their mix (below) – which in it’s entirity is a really interesting selection if you have the time:
