Principal photography is now complete for The Bedlam Six’s latest music video.
The song is “Hold On To Me” from the recent “Get Religion!” record. The film (directed by Joe Mannion) features a dueling couple played superbly by two veteran actors – one of whom, Rita Davies, began her career with the Monty Python team in the 60s.
It’s a real honour to have them involved in this project.
Louis has just accepted a position on the Un-Convention advisory board. His roles will include coming up with new ideas for events, marketing and generally propagating the ideas and ethos of this celebrated global grassroots music conference.
In other news, Louis and the band are taking the “Get Religion!” tour to the continent with dates booked in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
