Hope the trains aren't affected by this cold weather snap :unsure:

Thanks. Nice that they included Scotland for a change.

 

I do like that individual picture with the dogs..................... very masterful.

 

In saying that,I wish they'd given him a more princely tunic instead of a plain black shirt.

 

Did fairy tale princes wear watches though?

 

I don't think the mistake in the show's title will be a problem. They seem to have stopped advertising Snow White here.

 

 

 

 

This was on Darius' facebook.

 

Claire Clint haha....these status updates have gave me a good giggle!!!! Forget everything else, thermals are the way to go! I've frozen my ass off every night at panto rehearsals so far but got thermals today and was roasty toasty :) Kids have missed you, great the way you spend so much time with them!!!!!

 

It sounds as though he's happy doing rehearsals. It's not surprising that he gets on well with the little ones.

He just seems so natural interacting with children. He'd make a superb dad!

That's exactly what I was thinking!

It's all very well singing opera in the O2 Arena, as Darius Campbell was earlier this year. Back in his hometown of Glasgow facing the prospect of making your pantomime debut at the grand old lady of Scottish pantomime, the King's Theatre, is a very different proposition.

 

And as if that wasn't difficult enough by itself, Darius has to deal with the loss of the King's undoubted star, Gerard Kelly, who died suddenly earlier this year just before rehearsals were due to begin,

 

But Darius is something of a seasoned pro these days and in this interview with Gill Harvey for stv.tv, (recorded before Kelly's untimely demise) he is looking forward to taking the lead role in Snow White this year.

 

Well not the lead role; he's not playing Snow White. That's going to be a local girl called Julie Matheson. But he is playing the handsome prince who comes along to rescue her from the enchantments of the wicked witch and all that "Mirror, Mirror" stuff.

 

And he's looking forward to it. As a platinum-selling singer-songwriter, author and actor in his own right he certanly has the core skills. And he has, by his own admission been on a good run. And, as he told stv.tv's Gill Harvey, he has been taking advice from the very gest sources.

 

“I spoke with Tony Bennett this year", he revealed "and I got his advice for this show, The History of the Big Bands that I’m doing, and I said ‘what’s the biggest piece of advice you can give me?’ And he said: ‘just remember, Darius, you’re always there to serve the audience’. He said ‘sing your heart out every time you sing.’"

 

Campbell added: “I’ve been really lucky in that I haven’t just had one year or two years, I’ve had people’s support and hopefully I’ve reciprocated in wanting to entertain them in different ways – as a singer, as a songwriter, as an actor. It’s my tenth year - 2010 has been a really special one.”

 

Darius' Prince Charming will be appearing in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at the King’s Theatre in Glasgow in December and January. Find out more about the performer and his tour dates from his official site dariusmusic.com

This has the same video but the write up above.

Unless we get a miracle thaw within the next 12 hours, I'm snowed in here and I'm not going to be able to go up to Glasgow to see D :(

 

I'm losing well over a hundred pounds with hotel, travel and panto ticket, but I'm much more gutted not to be seeing D in another genre of the entertainment industry :cry:

 

 

That's awful, Paul. I hope you find a way. Are you flying, driving or training?

 

thats awful, I have been hoping against hope things wouldnt conspire to stop people getting to Glasgow! this weather has come just at the wrong time

Thanks Meg, that was a lovely little video.

 

So sorry Paul that you're snowed in, you must be so frustrated. I don't think any of us thought that winter would start so early, I certainly didn't, and now I'm crosssing my fingers for the 17th. Where are you flying from Meg? On the news it said Gatwick airport is closed today and they are having trouble at Heathrow. When are your tickets booked for, have things time to clear? Sue
