JAZ: THE OFFICIAL PORTRAIT

This is a photo of Jaz from the Yeo Valley FB page .

THIS AND THAT

I conducted a very brief interview with Jay Taylor (A first for this blog!) via Twitter (See below). Nothing but first class journalism on this blog! Remember you read it here first (unless you read his tweets, then you've probably already read it).

Interesting development in the Twitter-sphere: Jay Taylor is now following Gary Amers. I don't know if it means anything, but it seems strange that after all these months he would decide to finally follow a fellow member of The Churned.

More photos from Magic of the Movies, the show Gary Amers was in in Beirut, are available on the Croc Bisous FB page .

The tour of Snookered, the play that Michael Luxton is in, ends at The Nuffield Theatre in Southampton, with shows 3,4,and 5 April.

The Watch our Ads page  has returned to the Yeo Valley website (obviously due to the pressure caused by earlier posts on this blog). So there is a little bit more of The Churned on the site now, but still far from enough.

GARY AMERS YOUTUBE UPDATE 2

Gary Amers has updated his YouTube page. There is a new version of his show reel, with some footage that isn't in the old one. There's also a new song!!!!!

COMING SOON TO A MARATHON NEAR YOU!

Jay Taylor regularly runs to raise money for Leukaemia And Lymphoma Research [site]. He will soon be running in The London Marathon [site]. The little bio above is from the official pdf of celebrities who will be participating (This, of course, makes him officially a celebrity). The photos of him running are from the Fleet Half Marathon, which he ran in last Sunday. If you want to see them without the website name printed all over them, you can order copies here.

So if you're in or near London go show your support on marathon day. Good luck, Jay. Run like that chicken!

A SPECIAL REQUEST

Gary Amers would like everyone to watch The Voice UK on BBC1, and support his friend Toni Warne [Twitter, Youtube].

THE OWL

One of the iconic images from the "Forever" video is Aiden with the owl on his arm. That owl is Jaz, a tawny owl (Strix aluco) owned by Ian McGuire of Wild Owl (the photos are from her FB page). Jaz was born in 2005. She was rescued as a chick and could not be returned to the wild, so she is used to educate people about owl conservation, and occasionally works in show biz. An account of her work with The Churned (with photos) can be found here, there's also a video [It says Jaz is the cute one with the big brown eyes, but isn't that Bradley?].

The tawny owl is a native British species. You can find out more at RSPB, and at Wild Owl.

CONGRATULATIONS SNOOKERED!

The play Snookered, whose cast includes The Churned's Michael Luxton (playing Dave, the barman), has been nominated for an Offie award for Best Ensemble Acting, and also for Best New Play.

Snookered is playing at the Bush Theatre in London until March 24.
