Hit Me Baby, I Want To Go Home



Today I was at the BBC TV Centre to perform with Mica Paris. We had to be there at 9am which was a pain. These shows usually involve a very long day and this was to be one. We had been told that we would be miming to Robbie Williams' "Angels" and were sent the track on email about two days before the session. I didn't get time to listen to it but I kind of knew it anyway.

When we arrived today, we went straight in to rehearse the song and choreography (gentle swaying from side to side etc.) and it went ok. We had been advised to bring an all-black outfit which is quite usual but then Mica Paris said that she had told her management to ask our agency to tell us to bring all-white. After talking her out of it - as we would have had to travel to each of our homes and back in time for dress rehearsal - she opted instead for the wardrobe team to go out to the market and buy white t-shirts for all of us. What a pavlova!

So anyway, after all that kufuffle, we did the show and everything went well. I had a good day but it was just really long and tiring. It was good to catch up with some people that I hadn't seen for a long time.

If you saw the show, let me know what you thought.

Over and out, A

So, you get paid for miming? Cool.
BTW, did you see the puppies being born?

Unfortunately not Liz. It just so happens that the dog went into labour as I was leaving for the airport. Big shame but hopefully I will come up again soon to see them.

awwww I watched the first act then turned over to watch strictly dance fever!
Seems strange to hire professional singers to mime..... silly even!
