    Video // Christmas Starts with…

    christmasstarts

    One of the campaigns that we’ve been working on in Premier is ‘Christmas starts with Christ’. Basically the idea is to put religion back in Christmas and forget about all the commercialism that surrounds it.

    So for this campaign, the video team, Phil and myself, had to come up with a video to show what the campaign was about.

    I had the initial idea of a moving street and at the end of the street we find a crib but I had thought that we may need to represent a family, perhaps even have them walking down the street. But within the duration of the video and the visuals of buses and streets, they would have got knocked over!

    So here’s one of the videos. Phil Maltz on 3D graphics and I built the soundtrack for the video. Voiceover supplied by Dave Rose.

    The London Ear on RTÉ 2XM // New Timeslot

    Ghettoblasters

    This week sees the launch of RTÉ 2XM‘s new schedule. The guys have been hard at work getting new studios sorted in Dublin for 2XM and from the photos I’ve seen, they look shit-hot!

    That does means, however, after four years of having a show (The London Ear and Culture Cafe before that) on a Wednesday, we’re moving to Saturdays at 1300.

    I’m really looking forward to having the show on a Saturday and I think it’s a great move to try and do more for the Irish community in London. Most people tend to work Monday-Friday, so there’s no excuse for not listening on a Saturday.

    Plus, if you miss it then you can always listen on the RTÉ player and on Mixcloud.

    So remember, new time, Saturday 1300, same Bat channel!

  • Video // Kacey Chambers – Core

    Video // Kacey Chambers – Core

    Kacey Chambers is and up and coming singer songwriter from London, who dropped into Premier for a chat and a song with Loretta Andrews, for ‘Unsigned’ which airs on Saturday at 6pm on Premier Gospel and at 9pm on Premier Christian Radio.

    Kacey was joined by Mike Brown, an absolutely legendary guitar player who has played with the legend that is George Michael, as well as Quincey Jones and countless other names. It was a pleasure to watch the master at work and knowing that he will still give up his time to play with a still ‘unknown’ is pretty cool. Plus as a huge George Michael fan, it was quite a kick for me 🙂
