Warning – please don’t watch this film if flashing lights and fast images affect you at all :)

People often ask me where are all the photographs of all the people holding thesignedphotograph are. Well, it’s a logistical admin job and a half and I get very confused :) So to enable you to see the scale of the project I’ve updated the previous APOTSPOAB flicker film and hereby present to you “825 photographs in less than 2 minutes?” Music courtesy C64Audio.com I hope you enjoy.

If you are an APOTSPOAB I hope you can spot yourself! Thanks so much to everyone who has taken part. It was a pleasure meeting you, and I have made many friends on our travels. I still need another 1365 people, so if you wish join in let me know and I’ll come to you. I hope to be having an exhibition and film screening shortly too so ears peeled for that :)

It is a pointless pointlessness for a very good reason… I will get the website tidied up shortly so it all makes sense… for info on how and what and why, please visit thesignedphotograph.com or follow on Twitter :D

Have a great weekend,

Anna x

Steve Clark at The Palladium

Regular readers will know I am a complete variety and theatre history nut. I was fortunate enough to meet Steve Clark while at the London Palladium a few weeks ago. Steve is one of The Clark Brothers and dance history on legs – or feet to be precise. Have a look at the clip below – it is absolutely incredible!

He is a true entertainment legend who regaled us with tales of working with Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr and many other names I never thought I’d be one degree of separation from. He also said he worked at the Kilburn Empire!

Also below is a lovely bit of video with Sandra (a wonderfully jolly lady with a beautiful beaming smile) when they broke into impromptu sing songs. This clip makes me so happy – it’s a real joy to watch!

(apologies for the hazy video quality – the lighting was very gloomy and had to brighten a bit…)

(I’ve managed to visit a few of the West End Theatres recently so will write more soon about my backstage exploits :) )

APOTSPOAB @ 839 / 2190

Last night at the aforementioned invitation from the entire hamlet of West Hampstead I popped along to the sweaty throngs of The Alice House to meet some local West Hampers. I met some amazing people, and so here they are  – in a unique special edition APOTSPOAB* within an APOTSPOAB within an APOTSPOB within an APOTSPOAB-type frame :D

Thanks everyone for being so kind and generous with your faces and hope to see you all again soon!

(* APOTSPOAB = a photograph of the signed photograph of Arthur Bostrom)

p.s. the main website for thesignedphotograph project is HERE although I am in the process of amalgamating it all into this blog to save my poor brain from duplication and/or overheating so it may continue to be chaotic-ish…

p.p.s to keep up to date with local things may I suggest the very fine blog of @WHampstead – the organiser of the #whampgather gathering :)
