November 2015 - The Diary

Hardly any room to think this month with rehearsals beginning in lovely Cumbernauld Theatre and the last few remaining 'Captain Morgan' live gigs in Edinburgh and Glasgow and thoroughly enjoyed this latest run of appearances as the old 17th Century buccaneer which went down a storm with audiences!


Back to Radio Clyde for voice overs for 'Ground Mapper' and 'Beltrami & Company' and my 41st job of the year! Been unbelievably busy this year and delighted to have more work now lined up for 2016 with a cameo role in Simon Baker's wonderful feature film '90 Minutes', as well as more corporate gigs.


Really looking forward to getting back in front of the camera on this feature and still have another few scenes to shoot on Douglas Sannachan's feature 'Starcache' in early 2016 as well! Rehearsals continued apace all month and we had our first previews on November 27th and 28th to wonderful and noisy


audiences, which was invaluable experience as we could then trim the show accordingly as we ran over time and with three shows some days this needs attention!! Been a tremendous month's work and a huge thanks to all the cast, crew and staff of Cumbernauld Theatre who have created a fantastic show


yet again this year. Jimbo and Siobhan have created wonders with props and costume, Jools, Jan and Sean simply superb running the technical side of things and working under directors Ed Robson and Tony Cownie has been an education and a joy as both are hysterical and knowledgable and have improved me as an actor this month, without a shadow of a doubt. So far, this has been one of the most enjoyable jobs of my career and a brilliant learning process.
