Officially the first photograph of me as a 41 year old (I'm the one on the left)
September, back to school! Where is the time going? August was a bit of a let down as the campaign to lose the word 'underfollowed' from my Twitter bio didn't come to any satisfactory conclusion. So if you are wondering why someone of my standing has so few followers, the answer is still one of resounding confusion. Another let down was the donations, of course I appreciate the ones I get but nowhere near enough to do anything useful with for the time being. It is starting to baffle me that people manage to get things done with crowd funding as it seems to me that people don't understand the concept. By making a donation you are helping to create something that will be available for free for everyone to enjoy, what's not to like or understand?
Thanks to this drought of donations it looks unlikely that some of the more ambitious projects will see the light of day before the end of this year. This basically means that apart from The Random Sessions there won't be any more filmed items until 2018. I have several projects ready so please donate what you can. There are some other ways to help raise money too, all of which goes into the creative fund.

The Sunday Alternative podcast is still dropping every weekend for free, and I am still releasing Random Sessions videos on a weekly basis along with occasional video blogs. All of these are free and your donations help to keep them going so please click that button at the top of the page. When you go out for a drink, have one less and donate the price of a pint and it soon adds up.
I will be once again missing the final Sunday of Goose Fair to host The Sunday Alternative stage at the Hockley Hustle on Sunday October 8th. If you're going I'll see you at Bunkers Hill, if you're not going then please remember to only buy mushy peas at the proper stall.
I am not on the judging panel of Notts Factor this year as they are going for 'new blood', so this year's judges will presumably all be people who have never judged it before. Apparently there were complaints about my conduct last year which have only come to light recently but apart from occasionally swearing when there were children present (in a licenced premises on a Sunday night, great parenting there) I think I was okay. However I am cool with this and wish all the best of luck to those who enter.
If I can get ready in time, I am going to attempt to make a short film at Goose Fair. Obviously I haven't got long though so this might be stretched out and continued/finished next year.
That's about it, thank you in advance for your donations.
