Nearly the end of June

I can hardly believe it's nearly the end of June already! Things have been quite hectic recently, as I'm trying to set up my own digital store online.
If you want to check it out, it's at http://www.digistuff4u.com.
What's available? A wide variety of eBooks at the moment, in 32 different categories. As from the beginning of July, there are going to be HUGE discounts for our Summer Sale, so don't miss out on this opportunity to download some real goodies.
As for the barn dance side of things (which is, after all, the main reason for this blog in the first place), bookings are coming in thick and fast, even as far ahead as October 2010, so if you're considering having a barn dance, don't leave it till the last minute!
Catch you later!

Update 20090614

Life seems to have been pretty hectic since my last post, which was absolutely ages ago. So what's been happening?

Well, I completed my contributions to two student films: Fiver Live at Sheffield Hallam University and Doors at Manchester Metropolitan University. They've sent me a DVD of the first one, but not the second one yet. Still waiting ... (I won't hold my breath though).

I also went to the BBC at Manchester for an audition for Totally Saturday (don't know why, because I don't enjoy watching that kind of show, so taking part would have been a strange experience). I'll never understand how some people can just be so ... enthusiastic ... all the time. About BoyZone, for goodness' sake! Ah well ...

About a month ago, I had an interesting video conversation on Skype with a Brit in Belgrade, about sincerity and stuff ... He's a video maker, called Mark Brogan, and I'm interested in what he puts out. Search for his videos on Dailymotion.

Finally, I'm going to be playing a bit of piano accordian for another short film -- again unpaid, but with the promise of a copy on DVD for promo purposes. The music is only about 2 minutes long, arranged for trumpet, saxophone, guitar, bongos and accordian, and the musicians have never met, so it'll be another interesting experience. Filming Sunday 21st June in Barnsley ... or was it Bradford? Whatever ...

OK, better go and do some work now. Have fun. If you find this remotely interesting (or just incredibly boring), please drop me a line.

Bye for now!
