Some probable retirements became – as we have noticed – more real than the musicians probably assumed them to be with their works betraying this unintentionality. For instance – Spandau Ballet could still come back, yet the relationships between the band members are sour at the moment. Then, there's also a factor of Once More, their last album. While I get why they did a re-recording platter, they did add two new songs and, uh, yes, they are what they are. I think their major problem might be they modernized the memory of their sound, but not their sound, if you catch my drift. Moreover, they were always scoffed at, because many assumed their most famous pieces were a stroke of luck and not work and these turned them from a cult group in the making to what they ended up as.

SHADOWFAX: ORPHEUS
Tumblr media
Orpheus – Shadowfax Release Date: April 1st, 2023
Track Listing:
1. Ferns 2. Stars and Shells 3. Salome 4. Slumbering Man 5. The Inferno 6. Darkness Fell 7. The Vagrant
Shadowfax’s Orpheus is whimsical folklore. Shaped by ancient metaphors and calming melodies, the album burrows and nestles its way into your heart. It holds your hand as you wander through a forest at the mercy of the elements.
Vancouver-based Shadowfax has a fresh, crisp sound, existing in the same vein as alternative folk bands like Lord Huron and Of Monsters and Men. At the same time, the band doesn’t shy away from non-traditional instruments including pedal steel, banjo, trumpet, and theremin. These instruments help differentiate Shadowfax’s sound which, at times, ventures into jazz and country territory.
The first song of the album, “Ferns,” comforts listeners with sweet, warm fiddle and rich imagery: “Lay me down in the shady grove where the nesting starlings go / I'll make no sound, but I'll take ample care that the wild ferns may grow.” Jeremy Fornier-Hanlon’s delicate indie vocals contrast with country flares. Slow, melancholic tones emerge in “Stars and Shells.” Cascading prose adds drama, while harmonious singing folds listeners into a gentle embrace. Natural lyrics paint a lush landscape: “As the wind kissed the air and the sun / And I landed on clouds and I started to run / And the rain and the trees all combined into one.”
“Salome” binds a spell with dazzling trumpet, keyboard, and electric guitar. Cheeky microphone vocals recount a seductress’ visit to town: “Well she danced into our town just like a storm in late July / She had some heat, was oh so sweet / You know she caught a couple eyes.” Spunky percussion feeds a festive but tense energy, reminiscent of Hozier’s “Dinner & Diatribes.” Deep, sorrowful strings accompany rustic layers in “Slumbering Man.” The song stiches an impressive orchestral patchwork with blocks of despair and beauty. Words mark the passage of generations: “While the breeze blew softly you slept through the years / And young hearts went bankrupt from borrowing tears / And the lake dried to nothing, where life had once sprung / The old were once young.”
“The Inferno” cries for the climate: “Fragile life so fleeting, forestry receding / We lit the match, now watch it all turn black / Ancient trees are falling, industry is calling.” Its meaningful message secured with plucky acoustic and edgier electric guitar. Musical notes soar and wrestle with morality. Peaceful and soothing sounds blossom in “Darkness Fell,” a track dealing with rage, aggression, and the perpetration of harm: “With raging darkness in your hand and careless evil in your heart / You cut a swathe from town to town and tore young families apart.” This duality shifts into a softer place near the end, confronting inner wounds with caressive drums and melodies full of twang. The collection ends with “The Vagrant,” a bittersweet send-off. Steady sunset strings pluck away to reflective lyrics: “Well I'm a road-weary wanderer and I'm out for to roam / And it may not seem much but this road is my home.”
Cinematic, creative, and everlasting on the ears, Orpheus by Shawdowfax is an album worthy of adoration. Cohesive, clear, and skilled instrumentals immediately command respect. The songwriting is a feast for the mind, nurturing stunning scenery and emphasizing shared, interconnected relationships.

Ooh! A wonderful interview with Rich Keeble who played Mr. Arnold (the one with the Doctor Who Annual :)) in S2! :)❤
Q: In Good Omens 2 you play Mr. Arnold, who runs the music shop on Whickber Street. Were you a fan of Good Omens before joining the cast, and is it challenging to take on such an iconic story which is already loved by a huge fanbase?
A: “There’s always pressure if you’re working on something with an existing fanbase and people might have an idea already as to how you should be approaching something. To be honest I was aware of the show but I hadn’t actually seen it before I was asked to get involved. I knew it was something special though! I remember talking to Tim Downie [Mr. Brown] about how when you tape for certain things you know if something’s a “good one”. Of course by the time I was on set I’d watched Season 1 and read the book. 
Tumblr media
I had an interesting route into the show actually: I was asked at the last minute to read the stage directions at the tableread on Zoom, and Douglas [Mackinnon] the director called me up to discuss pronunciations of the character names etc. To prepare further I quickly watched the first episode on Prime Video, and I was very quickly drawn into it. A couple of hours later I was on a Zoom call with David [Tennant], Michael [Sheen] (with his bleached hair), Neil [Gaiman], Douglas and the whole team, including Suzanne [Smith] and Glenda [Mariani] in casting. After that readthrough I asked my agent to try and see if she could shoehorn me in and she came back with a tape for Mr. Arnold saying “you play the piano don’t you…?” They wanted me to demonstrate my musical playing ability, so I rented a rehearsal studio room in Brixton for an hour and filmed myself playing piano (and drums just in case), then I did my scenes a couple of different ways and I guess it wasn’t too terrible!”
Q: During episode five you mimed to music written by series composer David Arnold alongside a real string quartet – this must have been very immersive! How did it feel to work with David, and bring the ball to life?
A: “I actually didn’t meet David Arnold sadly, but I did work with Catherine Grimes, the music supervisor who is lovely. David was at the London screening but I missed an opportunity to go and say hello to him which I kicked myself about. 
I remember before I was in Scotland there was a bit of uncertainty as to whether I would need to play anything for real or not, so I practised every day playing loads of Bach and other music I thought was era-appropriate just in case they asked me to do anything on the fly. So yes, it was very immersive as you say! They sent me three pieces of music to learn which I practised in my Edinburgh apartment on a portable folding keyboard thing I bought. They introduced me to the string quartet (John, Sarah, Alison and Stephanie) and I tried to hang out with them when I could. On the day we all had earpieces to mime to. I had to mime while listening out for a cue from Nina [Sosanya] from across the room, then deliver my dialogue and carry on playing, which was tricky! The quartet and I helped each other out actually: Douglas would say something like “let’s go from a minute into the second piece of music”, I’d look at the sheet music and whisper “where the hell is that?” and one of the quartet would say “we think that’s bar 90” or something. Here’s a little bit of trivia: the shooting overran and the string quartet couldn’t make the last day, so they found some incredible lookalikes to replace them for the scene when we get lead out of the bookshop through all the demons, although I think they also kept them deliberately off camera.” 
Tumblr media
Q: What did you think of your music shop when you first saw the set? Did you have a favourite poster or prop?
A: “I thought it was incredible! It could’ve been an actual music shop with all the instruments hanging up with the “Arnold’s” price tags on. The attention to detail was incredible, well IS incredible as I understand it’s all still there. It’s hard to pick a favourite to be honest. I did a little video walkaround on my phone at the time so maybe I’ll post that if I won’t get in trouble. Interestingly the shop interior itself was elsewhere on the set to the shop entrance you see from the street. You walk out of Aziraphale’s shop, over the road, through the door of the music shop and… there’s nothing.” 
Q: Mr. Arnold is tempted into the ball by a Doctor Who Annual and is playing the theme in the music shop scene – are you a fan of Doctor Who in real life? And what was it like making those jokes and references in front of the Tenth Doctor David Tennant?
A: “I’ve always dipped in and out of Doctor Who over the years since Sylvestor McCoy, who was doing it when I first became aware of it when I was growing up. Even if you’re not a fan it’s one of those shows you can’t really get away from, so doing that particular scene in front of David was really fun, and of course Douglas had directed Doctor Who as well. Apart from the amusing situation of two supposed Doctor Who fans talking about Doctor Who without realising they’re in the company of a Doctor Who, I also seem to remember Michael being the one to suggest that he would deliver his “due to problems at the BBC” line directly to David.
Oh, and I think it was actually my idea to grab the annual off the harpsichord before joining the queue behind Crowley at the end of the ballroom scene (which we’d shot weeks earlier at this point). When we were blocking it out and rehearsing I knew I had to leave my position and get to the front for my “surrender the angle” line, and then later it just felt like I wouldn’t leave without the annual so I ran back through everyone to grab it. Nobody seemed to have a problem with me doing that so I just carried on doing it when we shot it! I do remember it being a fun set with Douglas and the team being very open to suggestions.”
Tumblr media
Q: How did you balance filming both Good Omens and BBC Ghosts at the same time?
A: “Luckily both shows were a joy to work on, and everyone seems to know about both of them. We were shooting them in early 2022 and I also had a little part in an ITV drama called ‘Stonehouse’, starring Matthew Macfadyen. I usually never know when I’m working next so to have three great TV jobs at once was very unusual. There was all this date juggling and I actually almost had to turn down Ghosts due to clashes. Luckily both shows had to move some dates so it worked out. But yes, I spent two weeks up in Scotland shooting all that Good Omens ballroom stuff, then I came back down to London to do Ghosts, knowing I’d be back up to shoot my scenes in the music shop in a couple of weeks. Now, when I found out who was playing my wife in Ghosts I couldn’t believe it: Caroline Sheen – Michael Sheen’s cousin! She was amazing and that was another great set in general. I say “set”, but it’s all filmed in that house which surprised me. I’d worked with Kiell [Smith-Bynoe] and Jim [Howick] before, and Charlotte [Ritchie] was in the Good Omens radio play a few years ago and a big fan of the book. Charlotte’s very musical of course and we got talking about my folding keyboard I had for practising my Good Omens stuff, and she ended up setting it up in the house for us to have a play on!
Now, when we’d shot all our internal scenes there was this big storm forecast, and our external scenes were scheduled for the day of the storm, so that had to be moved into the next week. It meant I ended up shooting those scenes outside the house, then going straight back up to Scotland to shoot the Good Omens music shop scene the next day! When I mentioned to Michael I’d just worked with Caroline he said “ooh she’s in Ghosts is she!” and revealed that she’d texted him about me which was rather surreal. Then later after the Ghosts wrap party Kiell gave me a part in his Channel 4 Blap, so at the time I felt like I was killing it career wise, but the industry quietened a bit after that and my workload eased off over the year so I was in my overdraft by November.”
Q: What are your plans for the future – can we expect to see you in something else soon?
A: “This year, after a bit of a quiet start, I was very fortunate to work on a Disney+ show called Rivals which stars… David Tennant! I think I’m allowed to say my character is called Brian, and I shot five episodes so that was another really amazing job, and great to work with David again (I told him he must be my good luck charm, although I hope he’s not sick of me). That should be out at some point in late 2024. Other than that I’ve filmed a few other bits I presume will be out next year, one of which is called Truelove on Channel 4 which actually looks really good. That starts early January. Of course now Season 3 of Good Omens has been greenlit, I would love Neil and the gang to have me back on that… but I can only keep my fingers crossed!”

327 goes into… just about everything: Part 2 Gordon-Keeble GT, 1964. Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro when he was working at Bertone, the Gordon-Keeble was a British grand tourer developed by John Gordon and Jim Keeble. It was power by Chevrolet's small-black 327ci V8 in 300hp form with a 4-speed manual gearbox. Around 90 cars were made before the company went dead bransinto liquidation, they were selling the cars for less than it was costing to make them. The company was sold and a further 10 cars were made before production stopped for good.

Apple-y Ever After, the sequel to What a Waste, is here! Check out the full film below!
youtube
More info about the film below!
Created once again with Deadline Communications for Love Essex, this time around we get to see what happens to the bruised apple if he is not thrown in the bin! On the kitchen table the apple encounters an apple sauce jar, apple pie and apple cookies (along with a curious pineapple), and learns about the transformation that can put apples like him to good use!
Big ups to Steven Allen and Lizzie Creswell who puppeteered the apple buddies (Lizzie also voiced the pineapple!), Daniel Keeble on cinematography, Oliver Bagnall composing the score, Louis Gaston on sound design and of course our voice cast: John Oakes as the apple, Dee Tails as the cookies, Samantha Anderson as the pie and Ross Bishop as the apple sauce!
The animation for this film was created in around five weeks, with just over 2000 assets drawn in total (compare that to the 1400+ of the first film)! I will be sharing a speedpaint of one scene from the film being animated from beginning to end hopefully sometime in January! There will also be a making of video by Deadline showing he puppeteering process!
The logo on the poster was designed (and animated in the film) by Maïlys Fossaluzza.
