February 2010. Welcome to the land of me. It's been a while since I edited this and now, after a long hard winter, I feel able to tackle the inter-web once more.  Note the new shots above - both 2009 - very different.  In fact we could do one of those 'spot the difference' things.  One in colour, one black and white.  I bet you can spot a few more.

 

Still writing and doing the voice work - everything from beer to selling office space in China...  Usual stuff.  You can check out a voice sample at:  http://www.crocodilemusic.co.uk/  - click 'Voices' and I'm on page 2.   Very nice people!

You might recall my mentioning Brian Clemens' new thriller "Strictly Murder" which I played in at the wonderful Mill Theatre at Sonning.  Well, we did get it on again.  Not in the West End sadly, but a national tour for 2009.  I directed and Ian Dickens produced.  You have to take your hat off to that man, when many others have fallen by the wayside because of all the financial trials and tribulations over the last couple of years, he seems to keep on batting.  The tour was a great success. 

The original cast, Nick Waring, Maxine Gregory, Clare Hatfield, the superb Jeffrey Perry, was modified for various reasons; the lovely Maxine was replaced by gorgeous Kim Tiddy, Clare by my great friend Sabina Franklyn and Jeffrey by the thrilling Ben Roberts.

I want to work with all of them again...

May 2008 I directed Ray Cooney's 'Funny Money'.     We opened to cracking reviews in Lincoln and has toured for the summer and autumn.   It was a national tour for Ian Dickens starring John Altman, my old mate Vicki Michelle, Chris Ellison, Peter Blake, Sally-Ann Matthews and the ever effervescent David Callister.  

As an actor I've been back on the road (somebody help!).  A comedy thriller called 'A Party to Murder'.  I've known better pieces.  It read well though and the audiences liked it.   I discovered on the first day of rehearsals that my character is west coast American.  After a few weeks doing a vocal tour of the States I settled down to what has been described as a passable Northern Californian accent.  It's always best to do an accent that nobody is familiar with...

Earlier this year I directet a National tour of 'Inside Job' by Brian Clemens.  Its still out there so:

Check out the dates for this tour on the left!

It stars the menacing Chris Ellison, the tanned Stephen McGann and the stunning Michelle Morris. It tours until late summer.  Watch out for it, I believe its one of the best (I would say that, wouldn't I...)

I have just finished directing 'Murdered to Death' by Peter Gordon.  A wonderful spoof of all things Christie.  It stars Sandra Dickenson, Michelle Hardwick, Norman Pace and old chum Victor Spinetti.  It tours until late autumn so:

Check out the dates for this tour as well!

I have two more projects on the stocks for 2010 and Brian Clemens is being all delphic about a new project for next year - we'll see...

STOP PRESS!

Here are my girls - at least as they were in 2007 - much better than boring old me...
