Light Up Glasgow's Skyline

I was lucky enough to film this amazing performance from Kirsty Neary at WPM5. It's a genuinely creepy reading of a solidly, unusual piece of writing. Kirsty is definitely one to watch. 

I am currently editing a film I shot in August/September featuring the marvellous 'Campfires In Winter'. To support the launch of the bands 'Cardboard Ship's' EP, The PEENKO and I concocted a scheme which involved a mini tour where the band would play in friends and fans living rooms. This scene features shots taken on an iPhone of the band performing With A Ragged Diamond. The filming took place on the first night of the tour at the home of Glasgow PodcART's Halina Rifai. 

The band were forced to play quietly because Halina's downstairs neighbours had just got home from hospital with a newly delivered baby, fresh from the storks mouth!

The amazing And So I Watch You From Afar playing 'The Voiceless' earlier on this year in Creation Studios, Glasgow. The live concert footage was taken from their recent sold out headline show at King Tuts. 

Tonight, it is all about good friends, some awesome food, and one of the best live bands on the planet!! In all seriousness, if you have never seen And So I Watch You From Afar live, you have really missed out. I was lucky enough to film them in Creation Studios on Easter Sunday, 2010. Everyone who was there was left speechless by the performance. Enjoy the videos, I will see you at Tut's tonight!!

Things have been fairly quiet for me on the WPM front recently; I couldn't film the Fence/Halloween event because I was shooting my film on the same day, but I am glad to say there has been a lot going on behind the scenes and Words Per Minute is moving to it's new home in the Arches starting from the 12th December and running concurrently on the second Sunday of every month.

I miss seeing the wonderful WPM girls, and of course the equally lovely Neil Thomas Douglas and Julian Corrie, so it is great to know that the wheels seem to be in motion and the event will soon be, quite literally, spreading the word on a regular basis once again. 

As a wee taster, here is some amazing footage from WPM4 featuring the incredible Tawona Sithole and his brother Earnest. This makes me flip every time I hear it! 

The cast and co-director of Frantic Assembly's new production 'Beautiful Burnout' discuss the play with an audience after the recent performance in Tramway.

Here are the marvellous Kid Canaveral playing Stretching The Line and Good Morning from a session I recently filmed and recorded for Peenko!

I filmed the Space Made Live event in Glasgow's 'Arthouse' building for the awesome people at Small Media Large. The project is not yet complete but they requested a short version of the film to show at an exhibition as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
