Yes I really am that happy - Today has been incredible! We've been shooting Adam F's music video for the track 'When The Rain Is Gone'. Location was at Elizabeth Shaw Chocolate Factory in Bristol, a rather run down looking abonded-esk building (which played host to random gym in the middle of it?!), with a whole host of lovely people including the man himself, Adam Fenton. Adam F has had collaborations with such other artists as Missy Elliott, Pendulum, and Destiny's Child just to name a few.
It was amazing to be asked to come down and get stuck in... He asked for a few girls and 2 boyfolk from my Bass Family tree (Bass Honeys & affiliates...) - So I'd asked:
- Ayla
- Sam Hunt
- Laurel Alabama
- Roxy (Rachel Crocker)
- Ali Love
- C-Strike-Z (Danny Mackie) brought along Ryan O'Confidential (who also happens to be a philosophical poet.. See below for links)

We were first asked to do a club scene, whereby myself and Alicia jumped on a box in the middle of this club-scene, which in real life was a large room in the run down building covered in debris... We got to meet some amazing and beautiful girls and boys - One of which, an incredibly funny chap called Gonzo (see link below), whom of which we got on with very well with - Namely making lots of jokes, involving impersonations of European porn stars...
We stopped for lunch after that (tiring standing about) morning (!) FREE food from the catering truck = A very happy young lady...

Anyhow - Spent weeks getting excited, and now its all over, I can't wait to see the finished result. Genuinely is such a lovely feeling to be asked to be a part of such a huge project.
Means that all the years of building up a reputation and working hard on organising various performances and promotion, really works.
The video should be ok to upload here.. Hopefully that is the case, if it isn't then I shall delete this last paragraph, so's not to waste your time on reading it :)
Here's a link to another video which Bass Honeys have been a part of which has also been aired on MTV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxQa0_BIdks
Someone said to me yesterday: Decide what you want to be doing.... It should be simple and easy to focus on. Imagine you're drawing a bow and arrow. Pull back the string and fire! And don't digress.
Really simple words... Yet so easily overlooked or not taken to the degree which could motivate... I however shall carry this statement with me

We all know folk whom have been affected by cancer, so it's a privilege to be a part of a project which shall aid in raising funds for research into the prevention and alleviation of symptoms.
This is alongside the incredible photographer/entrepreneurial woman Natalie Rodley-Haines who runs the Blink of an Eye photographic company.
There's a few other projects in the pipeline... Other than that... If political findings are your thing... Thought I may add an interesting little video which is riddled in irony and beautiful inspiration. Check it out -
Biggest love and prosperity in the new year - Happy 2012
