So an early start today! There is indeed another eight o clock and its horrible! I only stayed around the corner, so it was a long 100 metre drive to ITV studios. The security guard was very nice and let me in, but stopped a mouse trying to sneak into the show (look at his foot). There was some filming of me making coffee and playing guitar (no warm up and with freezing fingers), then park up in another building then get totally lost! The correct building was eventually found and once again it was past rodent security to the lift. Once beyond the star lift (ahem!), I was greeted with coffee, toast, make up, then it was backstage chatting about carehomes and dodgy guitar teachers. Then Ross Kemp came into the kitchen and we talked about dangerous places like Glasgow. After more coffee, it was the eejit wha bides in a car! Totally surreal and one of the most difficult things Ive ever done at that hour of the morning. There just isnt enough coffee! Everyone else was prepped with what questions theyd be asked and roughly what would be discussed. As you can see in the video (on the This Morning site), Phillip and Christine had no script and I had no idea what they would ask. Fine as long as you dont have to remember to mention all the bands or albums. I did get Dads whisky sauce in there though! Too many questions, not enough time! All that I was thinking was, dont swear or get your willie oot! Before you know it, I was gone and it was time for coconut milk and honey as a cure for a shambolic downstairs! Quick pics with Phillip and Christine then backstage again to chat with a lass. Me-What are you on for? Lass-Im in Emmerdale! Me-What? Emmerdale farm? You dont look old enough I think her boyfriend twigged that I dont watch TV! He took our picture anyway and called security!!! There was another guest called Tom. He was cool. He plays guitar, sings and is appearing in a crime drama as a baddie. Im sure hell be good. He looked vaguely familiar, but I couldnt place him. I have him a CD and he inducted me into something called Slytherin, then it was time for me to leave. Bloody strange day at the office! Thank you all for your support, comments and pisstakes. Now, can anyone tell me where my next gig is?
