MARTIN NEWMAN History

Above: BE GLAD (Heron/Williamson) / FILL YOUR HEART (Rose/Williams). Explorative runthrough featuring me (Acoustic Guitar/Vocal), Dave Thomas (Drums), Dan Romrig (Electric Bass) and Andy Headley (Electric Guitar). Summer 2006. I didn't know we were being filmed. Thanks to AH for loan of guitar & plectrum. Above: "STARLINGS"©. Conceived, written, illustrated and © Martin Newman, 2009. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Includes: "'STARLINGS'© THEME" written, performed and © Martin Newman, 2009. A language-free storyboard video / book of illustrations for children about how the strange can sometimes turn out to be friendly, i.e. though different on the outside they still have a star within. The starless are to scary for this age group but do appear later as the story unfolds. Each of the characters (and many others not included here) have names, histories and destinies within a global screenplay that, ultimately, "resolves the conflict between 'good' and 'evil'". Ha! Have tons of keylines, sketches, notes, a script and prose. I'll be uploading a hi-res version shortly.
