What a gig on Saturday the 7th November…. Misty Moon’s The Bill Reunions are always fabulous, whether they are at our beloved Cinema Museum or in more recent times online, but this one was exceptional…. 4.5 hours of pure entertainment for the fans during a dark autumn night of Lockdown. A huge, huge thank you to my guests, Carolyn Pickles, Suzanne Maddock, Gary Grant, Oliver Crocker and Graham Cole Obe…. Thank you as always to our tech wizard Martin Rudman for the great clips and to the wonderful audience which also had a few famous faces in it, including our Darling Patron Linzi Drew and Hammer actress Valerie Leon… The next Socially Distanced Bill Reunion will be on Saturday the 30th January 2021. Confirmed guests Natalie Rowles aka DS Debbie McAllister, Suzanne Maddock aka WPC Cass Rickman, Jon Iles aka DC Mike Dashwood and Andrew Mackintosh aka DS Alistair Greig .

So we did it, against all the odds, Misty Moon put on the biggest gig since the original lockdown and just hours before Lockdown 2 was about to start…. El Presidente Robin Askwith entertained a full but socially distanced Phoenix Arts Club with irreverent stories and a cameo from none other than George Layton.. I would like to thank all the team at The Phoenix especially Peter Dunbar, we had so many frantic calls over the last few days to make sure the gig went ahead… My wingman for the night Matthew Stanford and of course to the wonderful Misty Mooners who attended along with the other members of the audience…. Misty Moon & Robin will be back at The Phoenix and Cinema Museum as soon as we can… until then, Misty Moon Online Events are still going strong…..

I am still buzzing from Saturday night’s Misty Moon International Film Festival.
How brilliant was that?

As our beloved Cinema Museum is temporarily closed due to “that virus” instead of postponing the festival we decided to stream it online.

With a full online house packed with guests and filmmakers from around the world, enjoying the best in independent film. No technical glitches and all the films streamed perfectly, thanks to the technical brilliance of Martin Rudman. I had one of the filmmakers from New York messaging me during the festival to say how thrilled he was that their film streamed seamlessly… the miracles of modern technology…

I am so proud of Misty Moon’s special guest MC Suzanne Maddock… Suzanne did a wonderful job holding everything together…The judging panel were fabulous in their deliberations as I mediated them. Also in true Misty Moon tradition we stayed on chatting and drinking in our virtual pub The Slaughtered Lamb until the very wee small hours…

This was also a fundraiser for our beloved Cinema Museum and we raised £362.50 on Saturday night and a couple of days before, The Misty Mooners had already been donating so we have raised over £500, so well done everyone.

We even had Lindsay Honey aka adult Legend Ben Dover doing a drum roll from Spain before each winner‘s announcement…..
