River Man Video Scouting

River Man location #1

Last week we started filming the video for Fily's Prayer and River Man. We spent what was possibly the hottest day of the year in a wheat field moving hay bales out of shot (not authentic enough these days!) and sheltering under a gazebo from the burning sun! Roman dress is, despite what you think, not very cool......On the plus side the light was a beautiful golden glow which was perfect for our 'reminisant' shots and we got some amazing footage. Even the children behaved themselves. Well worth the sun burn.

 

Scouting River Man location #2
 

This Sunday the director and I headed down to Botany Bay in Kent to scout out location number 2, our 'entrance to the underworld'. What a fantastic landscape! There's some amazing little coves and rock formations which will look stunning with all our mad ideas! It was also a lovely day out for the family, lets just hope it's not too cold in October!!

Olympic Appendix

Quite an appt title really considering! This year is certainly turning into a challenging one! Just as I've  recovered from the c section, my appendix (literally) blew up on me on Sunday night (double ouch, very horrible nasty ouch!). I'm now pleased to announce that the offending organ has been removed and I'm yet again, on the road to recovery (it's a shame I'm not really a sports fan, TV schedule is looking a bit bland to my eyes!)! Unfortunately this means they be a bit more of a delay in me fully being back on stage (please note the gig cancellations in August) and it also means we're having to postpone the River Man video to late September early October.  There is a notion that "things happen for a reason" (it had better be a good one!). Hopefully filming in October will add to the 'air of mystery' we're hoping for.
In other, better news, I now have the final artwork and the final edit of the mastered version of the album so we can move forward in an audio sense. It's sounding fab and I can't wait for you all to hear it very soon.
