May 2015 - The Diary

May had everything! Auditions, voice work, corporate filming and live appearances, with hundreds of miles of travel and the promise of more work in the future. A busy month began with more CAPTAIN MORGAN live appearances around Scotland's bars and clubs, with gigs in Ayr, Glasgow, Dunfermline, Coatbridge and Dundee, followed by my 42nd birthday! Delighted to land a role in the feature film 'STARCACHE' directed by former 'Gregory's Girl' star Douglas Sannachan and filming this in June & July 2015, more of which later.


Then off to Leeds for another excellent COLOPLAST UK Roleplay job and really enjoying this line of work and the great practical experience it gives the nurses in attendance. Looking forward to more gigs in London in September. I was cast in another corporate video for the TUC with Theatre& which meant another trip to Yorkshire and filming in Huddersfield. Really nice cast and crew and look forward to hopefully working with them again in the near future.


Back to Glasgow for an audition for a US Feature Film and live appearances with RPM before more voice work on commercials for Hamilton Food Festival,UCI Mountain Bike World Cup and Fan Duel.

This was followed by another audition for a huge television series, fingers crossed for this one! Just exciting even to be seen for this, hopefully more of which later. Managed to catch David Carswell's 'Hatches, Matches & Dispatches' and Peter McDougall's 'My Brother's Suit' at Oran Mor and Paul Moore's 'Lynching' at The Shed this month and catch up with old pals before heading off to lovely Millport for a Bank Holiday trip and a wee recce for possible locations for a feature film I have written. Last up was a final promo gig in Edinburgh for RPM as the inimitable 'Sir Henry Morgan'. Good month of work and pleased with my progress this year thus far.
