March 2022 - The Diary

 At last, another Scotland Writers FC match against the auld enemie this month as the England Writers travelled to Scotland for the annual Hamilton Crescent Cup match, which has been postponed several 

times due to Covid. I met up with the England folks the night before the game, including my former agent Daniel Tasker and had a great night. The game at Glasgow Green was a tight affair, but delighted to report

we finally won back the cup and you can see how much I enjoyed that in the photo below, despite a crushing hangover! Great result & fab event after the match at the BAAD venue in Gallowgate in

which I read from one of Billy Letford's wonderful poems. Some publicity stills from the wonderful short film 1815 were released this month in advance of our upcoming screening and loved this shot of my nasty

character as well as the fab new poster for the film, which will also be going on the festival circuit, starting in Dunoon in the next few months. In other news, I have another short film scheduled to screen in the next

few weeks on Sky Arts. Below is a still courtesy of DBK Studios of my character Mr Perry in Nikki Fagbemi's superb film, WHY ME? Really looking forward to finally getting to watch it as I had such

a good time with this cast making the film. Also this month our film 83 has won Best Film Of The Year at the 21st ITA Awards! Congratulations to everyone involved as the film is superb! And finally this month

I am delighted to announce that I will be Producing the long awaited stage sequel to Trainspotting, PORNO. Adapted from the book by my producing partner Davie Carswell, we are bringing this new

show to The Pleasance Beyond venue for the whole of August 2022! Watch this space for details...
