London Calling! Over here playing a reunion show with Fred Karno’s Army, the first rock n’ roll band I ever had. We’re doing a gig at The Hogarth Club in West London on 13th and filming the whole show for posterity – it’ll be on the web at some point, so stay tuned.

Staying with my sister and catching up on the whole London film scene (she’s a well-known script supervisor). She says film work is down in general – “it’s all reality TV here now, and most of the films are very low-budget.” She’s just starting a  five-day video shoot for Mentorn Films, shooting in Elstree and on location. For the past 3 years she’s also worked on New Tricks, a show about ex-cops who solve cold cases. It’s the most popular TV show in the UK - the BBC1 drama attracts nearly 9 million viewers (THAT’S THE EQUIVALENT OF 55 MILLION IN THE U.S.!!!) and they shoot all over London and at Pinewood.
