Recording my gospel demo for the previously aforementioned viral advert. One thing I do know is that you just can't demo a song up and expect the 'creatives' to imagine it sung by a gospel choir, you have to fake it up. Doing so, on my own, takes time.

Meanwhile the TV job has gone pear shaped. The TV company, dont like the music. Whilst I'm not entirely surprised, and am relieved that this stressful situation has come to a close, I can't help but be annoyed by their response. The fact is, if one were to employ, say, Ry Cooder to record your film soundtrack, it's pointless to complain when it doesn't sound like Lalo Schiffren. So if you employ the great, legendary Danny T, what you will get is what Danny does. Eclectic, folksy, jazzy with a hint of ethnic. From the e-mail, that I could only get half way through before I deleted it, it was clear that there was another agenda going on here. The company never really wanted him to do it and were using this as an excuse. Sod em I say.
