NICE THINGS TO WATCH
JAMES YUILL SIGNS TO EMI
Great news! Finally James has signed a deal with EMI Publishing which basically means they publish his work when he sells some of it! Or something like that.......
Anyway ALSO he has chosen to release No Surprise(yipppeeee) as a Promo single on the small 7inch lable Chess Club. It is a clever move because he is already creating a little buzz and has been played on some BBC radio stations near and far!
The idea is he gets a fan base and some loyal followers before he signs to a major label! Clever lad.
AM SO PROUD
NO SURPRISE FINISHED!!!
NO SURPRISE VIDEO BEGINS
A few weeks ago we began filming for James' No Suprise Video. This was shot at a green screen studio which was kindly loaned to us for the afternoon! Mr Mikey Holliday directed, a lovely cameraman called Hopi filmed and I hung around making annoying comments and generally being a groupie.
But I have to say James was absolutely AMAZING, having never looked into a tv camera before I was a little worried about him singing the whole song down the lense and not once, not twice but over 20 times. Well I couldn't have been more wrong, I couldn't believe he did it first time which out a flinch or a mistake or forgetting one tiny word. I was so proud.. clearly it runs in the family! Ha ha...
Anyway here are some pics of the filming.. please note the one of me on the floor.. it's not me trying to get in the video.. no no I had to spin the chair James' was sitting on for 4 and a half minutes throughout the whole song... and at 6ft3 odd James is VERY HEAVEY... good job I have a strong puppeteering arm ay!

My brother who has already released 2 albums and is an amazingly talented folktronica artist is bringing some of his fat folk sounds to the Wye Fayre Festival on Saturday 7th July, you should head on down and check it out.
Or visit his myspace page and BUY HIS NEW ALBUM. 
It puts a new spin on these singer song writer types who are churning out the same old same old...
In particular his track No Surprise I can guarantee you won't be able to sit still and we're actually in pre-production for the music video to accompany this song right now so watch this space!
