September 2019

Another month of travel up and down to London for auditions and a blizzard of self-tapes, all thanks to my agent IAM and Luc Chaudhary for keeping me busy! Great fun this month with Tai and Irvine Welsh on a few nights out and lovely catching up with these chaps in Glasgow. Much hilarity as per


usual and thanks to Sarti's for hosting another Hellfire Club evening! Passed the 100,000 miles mark in the old car this month cruising up and down the M6 and back to Glasgow for a brilliant night at the The Doubletree Hilton as a guest of Outlander star Scott Kyle. A fantastic night and great to meet


Steven Walters and hundreds of fans on the show. Thanks to Peter Broerse for the photos here and to Scott for putting on such a brilliant show, superb entertainment and such great company. Loved it!



Nice to climb back into the old MacGregor family tartan for a fun night once again! Booked some more corporate work for next month and more meetings


for our next show as well as another possible project for 2021. Rounded off the month with a trip to York and then to Celtic Park's No7 Lounge with these fine gentlemen below for the Celtic v kilmarnock match and another win for The Hoops.


August 2019 - The Diary

Great fun recording THE FOOTBALL DAFT podcast with Ewan Cameron & Grado this month and you can listen back to our chat here: FOOTBALL DAFT podcast in which I was the mystery guest and quite terrified the life out of poor Grado! Be warned though, it's adult content...!


Back on the auditions trail again this month with lots of self tapes and then off to Blackness Castle to shoot the new BBC series BLOOD OF THE CLANS in which I play Archibald Campbell, Marquess Of Argyll. Absolutely loved every moment of this shoot, directed by the brilliant Craig Collinson, 


with whom I had worked previously on the CULLODEN Visitor Centre film. Huge thanks to Graham Hunter for the brilliant costumes and for these photos. The series is presented by Neil Oliver and will be broadcast in April of next year. We shot more scenes in the fabulous Falkland Palace and really


looking forward to seeing the finished film in 2020. Great cast and crew and nice catching up with lots of old friends on this job. More meetings for another exciting theatre project for next year and


more of that in the next few months! Recorded another fun podcast with James Slevin this month, chatting about the life of boxer Benny Lynch and our recent Scottish tour, pictured below. Also


in August I was delighted to be asked along to meet the great man's grand-daughter Sharon Lynch Howard along with the Benny Lynch Statue Campaign Team at the Peoples Palace in Glasgow and thanks to Jim Reid for the photos on this page. We are planning on bringing the show back to


Glasgow theatres next year and launching another wee tour for all of those who missed out on seeing this brilliant production this summer. Thanks to Billy Knox for the pic below with Bryan Turnbull.
