Hi guys

Cant say too much yet... but..I can tell you that I just received the ultimate accolade in the "lookalike" industry!

3 weeks ago, I was invited to "double" for Paul McCartney in his new music video..to be released in a few weeks time!

I spent 3 days on the set in London.... and had a blast!! He used a top French film director.... and had a couple of stars from TV and silver screen in the cast too!

If you go to my myspace site ...www.myspace.com/paulmccartneylookaliketribute ..and click on my track "Till There Was You"...you will see a small pic I have posted up..of me n Macca ... next to the track!

I was lucky to get the pic, and a signed message from the guy too...and I have to say..he exceeded all my expectations!!!

When Im "cleared" to do so..I will tell you all as much as I can..... as I had a fair few chats with Paul, and met his daughters Stella and Mary!

Also:

Im teamed up with a "Wayne Rooney" lookalike (Top English footballer) for a promo trailer for TV:

BBC TV (UK) in the Granada (North West) region..will be showing a 30 second advert for local BBC radio Merseyside, from I think, the 18th April for a couple weeks...
will be shown at various times...with local news and weather... usually around tea time..and late evening!

Im playing Macca, of course..... the ad is set in a factory..on a conveyor belt..a kind of production line.. Its pretty funny....as "Wayne" ends up in the "rejects" bin..... as he "defected" from Everton FC to Man Utd FC... theme of ad is "Made In Merseyside" .... so..Wayne was a traitor.... ends up in the bin!!

Regards..thanks for allowing me to tell you good people.....

On the subject of TV appearances.... anyone see Styxmans sons TV debut???

Neil

That's pretty fuckin' awesome, McNutjob :D
That had to be an incredible experience for you.
So, was this your first chance at meeting The Man himself?
You must've been going nuts! That would be like me
getting a chance to sit and chat with someone like Mario Lemeiux,
Bill Cowher or Steve Perry... I wouldn't know what to say :D

BIG Congrats!!!

sorry guys... heres the link to myspace

www.myspace.com/paulmccartneylookaliketribute

think you gotta have an account to check my pics and video... but you can see the "pic" on the home/opening page regardless of having a myspace account ..just click on the song "Till There Was You" When I can..I will "supersize" the pic and "Autographed message" scan

Gotta say... Paul looked a bit "underfed" ..poor guy is prob stressed out totally!!

thanks Carlitto and Moonie...... it was "surreal" ....Stella was "freaked out" over it all...haha

are you afraid Sir Paul will read this place and someone will come to whack your knees?

That's like posting a thread and saying I made enough chocolate for everyone here, but I'm keeping it only for myself.

WOW McNeil that's so incredible. :D I'm happy for you and can't wait to see the video or at least a clip. Image

I just checked out the pic on your myspace and you're right. Paul does look a bit frail. Image

Hey Mcneil, that's totally cool!!
By the way HOW WAS THE NEW TRACK??? I'm ready for his new album, though dissapointed that it's produced by the Driving Rain Guy.


ALSO- Check out my band's myspace page (link below). Our latest mailer card- and myspace photo- is one that you might appreciate more than most!

If I knew how to post the photo here, I would. It's pretty funny for Beatles fans.

OH WAIT- I figured it out!

That's my little nick-nmae for good Ol McNeil from back in the days

He and I are straight now but I can't get away from that one :D
It's either McNutJob or McNutSack :)
But he knows it's all in fun...

Well, that's the gag isn't it? We're posing in the famous Beatle Pose at a hotel and there's that wacko hanging his baby off the window...
Uh oh... We thought it was funny....

He's probably been sworn to secrecy until it's release.

he'd be able to tell us THAT. I've seen an advance track listing for his new album on the internet, etc.

By the way- STARBUCKS is Macca's new label. He left Capitol. That's REALLY weird...

Brywool ... and all

The new single is called "Dance Tonight" ...its a real poppy number...a bit lightweight and throwaway... but very catchy

Macca plays Mandolin on it !! ........ vid is cool....and involves appearances by "ghosts" from kitchen appliances... !!!!!!!!

No other band members there.... but the video director... Michel Gondry, plays drums..and he appears on the vid at the end playing them, whilst Paul plays bass! ...wild

.... just tried to log in to myspace account...to find it has been "deleted" !!!! what a shitzy bummer!! .... maybe Macca did whack me on the knees! ..or maybe someone "spiteful" contacted myspace and pissed on my parade !! I will try to find out!!

Will have to "re -up" everything again ... been readin up...this account deletion without warning or notice appears to happen quite often!!

ad is still the same

www.myspace.com/paulmccartneylookaliketribute

..but there is nothing much there right now...till I find a couple hours to put it all up again!! ...bugger!

regards

Neil
