A ponderous look at a defining moment of my teenage years.

For 2024 I decided to schedule some social media every day…. see how I got on.

‘Your Ass is Mine’ is a short film by Peter Johnstone. Here’s how we made it.

We recorded an EP with Mark and needed a video for the single. We put together something from the recording footage and gave it a cinematic front end. We love it and we hope you do too.

A big long rant about how badly broken the music festival model is

The importance of live videos and their role in getting your better opportunities. We also outline the background, logistics and costs.

Drink coffee, further your music career, or at least just listen to Neil talk shite for 30 mins.

Filming a line dancing werewolf in Gartcosh….. Again???. Heres how we did it.

Why do I do the least suitable thing in the world of social media ephemeris?

Not the long winded ramble at the end of year one, but just an attempt to mark where we’ve come from and where we’ve got to

I’ve played loads of weddings. I don’t now. If you fancy playing weddings, read this first. I’ll tell you what I learned.
