Let’s Move Somewhere Else

Let’s Move Somewhere Else is the first single by French/Mancunian band Rubberbear, consisting of Tom Chapman (New Order) and Steve Trafford (ex-The Fall), and for their debut EP they are joined by producer / programmer Phil Birchenall. I was fortunate to be part of the roll-call of local faces to form a moving portrait of human emotion by friends Jan and Emily, who form the creative partnership TAPE. It also stars the well respected and highly talented actress Maxine Peake (Channel 4′s Shameless and Red Riding, BBC’s Silk). The brief we were given – before being left alone with the camera – was to think of a place, imaginary or otherwise, where we would rather be. So I was pleased to have made the final cut, but surprised to appear at the very start! That’s me, in the back alley behind my house. Thanks Jan and Emily, and thanks to Rubberbear for the opportunity to appear alongside such a great track!

The track, ‘Let’s Move Somewhere Else’ was released along with the EP on the 1st of April and is available on iTunes.

Alternative Gallery Tour with Harry Hill

With the current Cornerhouse exhibition – David Shrigley’s HOW ARE YOU FEELING? – being very much focussed upon participation, it was the ideal opportunity to return to last year’s successful format of an alternative gallery tour with someone able to cast a fresh light upon the work on display. Barbara Nice would be a tough act to follow, her seemingly clueless but ultimately sharp-as-a-tack schtick having gone down a storm as she equipped visitors with feather dusters and requested they keep an eye out for mucky pictures taken during her glamour modelling days.
