update..(as at 12th August 2010)
LATEST...About to cover (understudy) a very well known actor and TV personality in a new play for London's West End in which I will also be onstage every night. Watch this space...
Played another comfortable-looking (this time bearded) middle-aged guy on an even comfier sofa for a recent DFS TV Ad. It was shot in a sort of
footballer's-wives-type mansion nestling in countryside a few miles east of Blackpool.
Read 'TWO WHEELS' by Matt Seaton at Whitehouse Studios for Clipper Audio. A short book, but a must for all fans of pedal-power...that's bicycles to you!
Previously at Whitehouse: read Glen Cooper's excellent, 'BOOK OF SOULS', a very absorbing and thought provoking mystical thriller. Great fun to do. I get to be Shakespeare, Nostradamus, John Calvin, assorted ancient Breton monks, a sadistic Frenchman, assorted and nasty CIA operatives, A foppish Derek Jacobi type Antiquarian bookshop owner, a doddering old English Lord, and, the hero.. a burned out and ageing ex-FBI cop (aren't they always!) with a deep-south accent. Oh..and that's just the MEN!
Before that I recorded Neil Wayborn's booklet: 'CONFUCIOUS IN A NUTSHELL' produced by Roy McMillan, for NAXOS AUDIO BOOKS.
This comes fairly hot on the heels of my first audio read for the NAXOS label : 'THE PRINCE', Machiavelli's intriguing book of 'advice' to all aspiring leaders of states. Translated from the Italian, it's fascinating stuff for all you classics and history buffs.

A few weeks prior to that, I recorded the new audio-guide for CHATSWORTH HOUSE for ATS and updated my recording of The HAMPTON COURT audio-guide.
Now...
Have a listen to this sound-file.
It's a trail I recorded as a sort of homage, by producer Ben Motley, to John Grierson's rattling old-style 1950's bbc-voice read of the 'The Night Mail', a famous poem by W.H Auden , composed for a celebrated old British Railways B&W film. This was recorded at Bush House for a The BBC WORLD SERVICE feature, promoting: 'Would You Kill The Big Guy' which aired from 12th May.
