and again, and again from now til Christmas hopefully, but only in the UK!

Yes, finally, the advert for Aldi supermarkets that the choir I belong to filmed in September was aired, possibly for the first time, last night between the two episodes of 'Scrubs' on channel E4 and of course, E4+1 an hour later.

It is only about 30 seconds long and the singing is about 3 seconds of that, but apart from the 'talent' (Phil Vickery) and the speaking part ('a new set of lights'), almost all the people you see are members of East London Chorus!

I'm the pale shape standing immediately in front of the tree and again in the middle front of the crowd in the last shot. My hair was in a plait that hung down over one shoulder so that 'landmark' isn't visible.

We spent 5 hours recording in all, and I had to eat so much chocolate - all to end up on the cutting room floor... ho hum, such is the life of a media star!*
