Another update from the front line. Welcome to the post-capitalist world, my fellow socialist bank-owning workers.
Comrades, this is a busy week....
I have a film at the London Film Festival (come and watch it!)
2 dramas on TV
and this Saturday I am supporting Dizzee Rascal at The Warehouse Project in Manchester
* Slight de ja vu with how everything coincides in October...hmmm
The Film premiere
Shifty. Will be in all good cinemas (and most multiplexes too) next April.
It's on at the London Film Festival next week, with the new 007 James Bond movie. We were scheduled to show the same day but Daniel Craig was intimidated by my physique, and bottled it.
Come see it at one of these premieres - 24th and 26th Oct (am doing post-screening gig on 26th)
If you'd like comp tickets let me know and I will put in a request, altho allocation is tight like indie jeans, so best to buy! Tickets not jeans!
Literally the day after the film screens, the dramas start to air...
The TeleVisualisation of violence
Zombies take over the world, and the only idiots left are the contestants of Big Brother.
Dark genius horror satire from Charlie Brooker (Guardian, Nathan Barley)
I play Jaime Winstone's boyfriend, axe in hand, blood on shirt.
Now do you believe me about Daniel Craig, punk?
The other drama is bank fraud thriller WIRED. Knife in hand, blood on cuff links.
First episode got a 5 million viewers. So kind of on a par with my record sales to date.
The gig with Dizzee Rascal
My second gig at the Warehouse Project. Last time I was first on, supporting Mos Def.
This time I have nice juicy billing, with Dizzee Rascal, Plastic Little, and Gilles Peterson.
Victory belongs to the proletariat! workers unite!

* exactly this time last year 'Britz' was on billboards and TV, and I was playing the BBC Electric Proms, and I was supporting Mos Def at Warehouse Project. Something about October, not Mary.
