I made a surprise appearance on Ch4's Sunday Brunch with an airing of the OK SOCIAL CLUB's video for 'Walkie Talkie', followed the next week by a call from STV Glasgow to take part in a mini documentary on my old football club for The Riverside Show.
A great footballing month for me continued with the latest Scotland Writers FC international match with Italy at Spartans FC ground in Edinburgh and an unexpected( by all except for us!) 2-1 victory! You can read a full match report here Scotland V Italy A wonderful occasion and a fantastic match played in great spirit by both sides, and a lovely feeling to beat the current Writers World Champions!
Back to corporate live work in London with Coloplast UK and again really enjoyed working with a fantastic group of actors on a really worthy project and all of the participants seemed to appreciate our work, in the lovely surroundings of the Pestana Chelsea Bridge Hotel!

Teamed-up once again with Fraser Coull to shoot a promo film for our Edinburgh run in various locations around Glasgow. The photo below is of our last schools trip to Ednam Primary as 'Benjamin Pritchard' which seemed to keep the troops entertained!
We shot the promo film for 'Letters To Aberlour' in monsoon conditions around various excellent locations in Govan and Queens Park, Glasgow and really looking forward to seeing the finished film. Then another audition for a mockumentary film, more of which next month!
More headshots done with the talented Calum Connelly in Edinburgh, the best of which I will post next month. Back to Glasgow and had great fun shooting another corporate video for 'Peter Vardy'. Finally rounded off this month with the role of Vinny in the Feature Film, Starcache with another fab cast and
crew, directed by Douglas Sannachan. Squeezed in two days of filming at the end of June and nice to be reunited with old friends once again on this job. This film has been shooting for two years and I was delighted to eventually land a great comedic role in it's final days of shooting. The photo below is by the lovely Ruth Anne Hawkins, with whom I recently worked on Cleek, stepping in at the last moment to adorn my neck with an excellent tattoo!
Another really varied month of acting work and more gigs booked in for July, August and September already, so it is shaping up to be a great year and personally, I'm having a ball playing all of these different parts. Maybe turning 42 wasn't so bad after all!
