My previous blogs have all been reader-focused, but this one's just some blatant showing off..
I was watching Body of Lies the other night and at one point they were in a car in Jordan checking out a terrorist safe-house (yeah, OK, it's not L'Age d'Or ) when some pumping middle-Eastern-style music came on the soundtrack. I listened for a bit, and thought it sounded familiar, and then I realised it was me playing guitar! (It was from a session I'd recorded in London for the producer Necmi Cavli and his band Oojami.)
I was quite pleased, to the extent that I spent the rest of the evening walking round the flat saying this was how Celine Dion must have felt when Titanic came out..
Joking aside, it was a nice moment, and all the credit and kudos goes to Necmi because it's very much his project and vision and it's good to see his stuff appearing in such high-profile places.
OK, I'll try and make my next blog a bit more useful to you I promise (unless I hear my music in a lift/elevator before then.. :)
In the meantime, I'll have my people speak to your people.
Chris
