Former youth worker - now working in film & TV

Guildford, Surrey
I might be the only person who has woken up in the town of Diss,

And travelled so I could spend the remainder of the day in Liss.

The Band Aid legacy is blatantly on full show in an unfortunate coincidental piece of timing (40 yrs anniversary),
But Bob is being Bob and at times like this - it’s his voice that prompts others to act.
He’s already made history but why not do more.

I was due to work on Sunday at BST Hyde Park - very excited to be part of the very last performance of Jeff Lynne’s ELO.

As the various news updates came through about Jeff’s health through the last week, Sundays event became a concern before cancelled.

Hyde Park BST before anyone turns up.

(I needed to turn up of course but that’s beside the point.)

Celtic FC was on my way to work today.

My Dads team when he lived here.

Work took me into Northumbria last week.

Hadrians Wall and everything. I must go back soon.

Sometimes as a jobbing actor I deliver flowers ;

I get the see the reactions that the original senders can only imagine. It’s a joy.

& Here’s a wedding day I was involved in a small way yesterday.

The Leake Street graffiti tunnel at Waterloo -

- is literally the back of the building where my grandmother was born.

A walk along the river from Guildford to Byfleet & New Haw

12 miles in 4.5 hours

Fabulous walk - hope to continue further another day

Night shoots all week this week.

Getting enough sleep (& being ready for work) is the key to the door.

London’s Leake Street and its celebrated graffiti -
But I can’t ever walk through here without taking into account I had a grandmother born literally next door to this - over 100 years ago though.

Just thinking maybe the art of the day would have been Kandinsky or Monet’s water lillies.

I had a look at two churches in Brentford yesterday.

The tall spire one, St Paul’s, has a nice coffee shop - it’s where my great-grandfather was baptised.

The other one, St George’s, now converted to residentual by the Thames - is where my great-great-grandparents married in 1865. #ancestry

One of those days yesterday where it’s possible to do two film jobs.

A late call time on one production meant a costume fit for another could be hastily arranged for the morning.

Good morning from the holding area.

A run of days await on a tv streaming production.

Call time 5.45am - it’s good to be early.

Thinking of everyone caught up in the West Coast #wildfires

Everyone should be committed to working together, actively saving lives & saving homes.

High winds, strong heat, dry ground = perfect recipe.

Pointing fingers for political point scoring can come later - it’s not a good look.

Someone has added their own artistic contribution to a set of super tall wand-lights that can be found outside Guildford Odeon Cinema.

I’ve been thinking ever since about how they did it.
