My show, Crocodile Rock has opened this week @playpiepint.bsky.social before heading to Guilded Balloon for its run at the fringe. It's a show that has had many lives and I think this is best version. Very proud of all the team, particularly the one and only Darren Brownlie. Here's a bit of a song

A taster of a new song I've written with Isla Cowan for our new show, whatever that may be! About someone at the end of the earth, looking back on the simple things that we take for granted. 'A Boring Afternoon'.

I made a song about the arms trade and the two very different sides of the transaction, it's called Merchandise For Murder, from my album A State Of A Nation, available at the usual places.

Enjoyed yesterday's performance of @andymcgregor.bsky.social's Meme Girls @playpiepint.bsky.social very much. Story of two 'outsider' schoolgirls who form a bond through a love of music and the challenges they face as they try to build a career. Great performances from Jana Harris and Julia Murray.

I was watching this last night and was really struck by how all the properties were owned by English people. And even the judges were English and/or v middle class. But the guy they got to show 'the other side' doing the cleaning etc was Scottish. Why do we do this to ourselves?

I'm sure I'm one of scores of unlucky people today who received a rejection for the Touring Fund. It's gutting. Over the last 4 years we made 5 high quality shows and built brilliant relationships with theatres & their audiences, but we won't be out on the road next year, which is deeply frustrating

My six favourite European Mr Men character names... 6. Mr Muddle in Spain = Don Confuso 5. Mr Topsy-Turvy in Germany = Herr Kuddelmuddel 4. Mr Bounce in France = Monsieur Bing 3. Mr Dizzy in Portugal = Senhor Bobo 2. Mr Greedy in Sweden = Gubben Glufs Glufs 1. Mr Bump in Norway = Herr Dumpidump
A cover of Herr Dumpidump by Roger Hargreaves that says "Herr Dumpidump by Roger Hargreaves" and with an illustration of Herr Dumpidump looking especially dumpidumpish (forgive me but I can't stop repeating the word dumpidump... DUMPIDUMP!)

In the 3rd and final part of 'Richard the Disappointing Apple' our hero discovers that being an apple is not quite the life he dreamed of. And though love may be round the corner, life is rarely that simple.

Been thinking about theatre directing recently. Why we do things the way we do. So many of us are caught up in the "right" way of directing, that leads us down the path of pointless exercises that make us feel clever. I've never finished a show & thought "if only I had played more ball games"
