August 2018 - The Diary

Another month of auditioning without success! But at least I am getting seen for some good projects and such is an actor's life. Again up and down to London and the joys of the Megabus, but hopefully set up a couple of jobs for later in the year, so well worth the effort and expense.

 Delighted to once again play in the Old Firm Greats match at Hurlford United's fine ground and yet another brilliant game and homoured to share the pitch with players such as Didier Agathe, Bobby Petta, Mark Wilson and be managed by Lisbon Lion Jim Craig and Frank McGarvey once again.


We took a hammering from a good Rangers team this time, losing 11-5, with me personally responsible for at least 3 of them! And I gave away another penalty! But a fantastic day and huge thanks to Bernie and all the great people at Hurlford United and the great crowd who turned


out to watch. My third game now and if only my talent matched my ambition! But loved every second of it and can't wait for the next one. And again several charities benefitted from the game and there was another Food Bank donation stall as well and these matches are the closest thing any of


us will ever get to experiencing a Celtic V Rangers match and the games are getting bigger and bigger every time. Thanks to Margaret Murray and Alan Watt for the photos on this page. Next up was a fab screening of Indie Feature CLEEK at The Blueprint Festival in Maryhill and a Q&A after the screening and nice to catch up with the cast and crew again.The film now has a US distributor


and heading to more festivals in America. Landed 2 short film roles this month, both shooting in September and will be returning to web-series COPS & MONSTERS in December's episode.

July 2018 - The Diary

Up and down to London several times this month for auditions without landing anything! Had a couple of straight offers for Feature Films but all three are for projects in the far distance as funding not yet realized so nothing on the immediate horizon. But all really exciting films and more to come on that in upcoming months.

Back to London for another COLOPLAST UK live event at the Radisson Blu in Bloomsbury and hopefully lots more booked in for 2019 now. And a great fun night with Irvine Welsh and Phil Vasili
in Kentish Town.



Back to Glasgow and cracked on with the renovation of the old terracing at Cathkin Park, followed by a few more meetings with potential partners for a new theatre tour we are producing in 2019. Great fun teaming up with Coronation Street baddie Connor McIntyre at The People's Palace as


well this month as we promoted the launch of the Benny Lynch Exhibition and Statue For Benny Fund.The picture below includes Benny's grand-daughter and Sammy Wilson's grandson! The exhibition will be open to the public for the next 2 years.
