new telly and album

hello fantastic fans,........

i'm going on three areoplanes one way .... then three areoplanes back !!!! ace hey !
anyway,.... i've been going on about finishing my next album now for so long,... and i've been popping in my shed at every given moment to finish off and record new tracks, .....that i've just come to check the running time ,.... and there is enough for over 3 and a half albums worth allready ,.... and about another 2 and a half albums worth still to finish off ,............ i've done too much !!!!

so i'm stopping now. ....... and don't worry - it will all come out .... but i'm just going to put together "e,f,g&h" to get out a.s.a.p. and then get another one out in the summer, and i'll take it from there.

there'll bee some good news soon on the next series of my channel m "proper telly show in black and white (with repeats in colour) " as the'll be six new episodes winging your way,.......... with six more hot on the heels of that..... and for scottish bbc2 viewers, i'll be making a return to the 'videogaden' show in march.... full details to follow.

well i'd better get my nuns outfit dusted off,.. and make little denise a halo ,.. as i'm off to craggy island off ireland to do the 'friends of ted' convention.....

best regards

p.s. i hope little frank gets searched at customs !!!!

reema-leema

hello fantastic fans,....

i'm back in reema-leema this week,... setting up my "proper telly show in b/w" set as we are just about ready to start the next six episodes,...... and i'm also setting up the miniture shed set to start some annimation,...... and also .......... a muliplane !!! (don't ask)

it was a very very very busy weekend this weekend and the busy started on friday night (does that count as 'weekend' ?) ,..... anyway as i said ,.... the busy started on friday night where i was compere at 'moho live' doing "the aftershow". ,.... there were six brilliant bands on ,..... and a ace night was had by all.

then on saturday at 1 o'clock ,... i moved into polatics when i did a ace trafford goverment film (which will be downloadable as a podcast soon),... i also put my policies forward for a new crossing by the library,.... and to paint the parking lines in the car park in the right direction,......

then it was off to the m.e.n. arena ,.... to do my stage duties for 'manchester vs. cancer'.
andi got a fantastic line up again this year.... with 'the monday's' ,... 'fun loving crims',.. the fratillis,... 'the enemy',... and the inspiral carpets. apart from my stage sweeping duties ,... i was supposed to do a song and introduce 'the enemy'...... but with seconds to go - they said they didn't want me to do it. ( just wait till they want to come on my "proper telly show in b/w"

but the best thing about the busy weekend,.... is that my mum went out on sunday ,,..
so i spent the day lozzing in bed watching telly.

"father ted" convention next !!!!

best regards

i did a few songs,... like ,... "hit the north east",.... and my "proper telly show in b/w" theme tune (only joking - it was my "frank's world" theme tune ,... which is just as good!) ,............ and a few "fan-fares" (curtis & mr.cox),..... so,......
