A message just in from a mate, known to a lot of you...Thomas Dolby.
"Hi Stephen !
I'm playing at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery LA on Nov 22nd. We've just added an early 6pm show that might be of interest to your friends. I'm doing my film ”The Invisible Lighthouse“ with live songs, score, narration by me, and live Foley by Blake Leyh. Followed by an armchair chat with two hot film/TV composers--Dave Porter (Breaking Bad) and Michael Giacchino (Lost/Star Trek).
Here's a trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFxbkZqznB0
and if they want tickets they're at my web site http://www.thomasdolby.com/.
See you there. Thomas."
“I’ve seen the show twice, I can say that the humor and inventiveness that Thomas brought to his music is very evident in this very original show. The audience experiences him as a film maker, pithy raconteur, performer and MC. I don't want to give anything away but let's just say that this is in no way another 80s greatest hits cash in. If you are inclined to treat yourself; go.” Stephen Dewey, MH.
Citypaper By Chris Wirtalla describes the show….
…. Equal parts documentary,X-Files mystery, and old time radio show, Dolby and foley artist Blake Leyh created a stunning live soundtrack to his film about a recently-decommissioned lighthouse near his childhood home in East Anglia, UK.
Legendary DJ Richard Blade said this about the show…
“The Thomas Dolby show at the American Film Institute tonight was one of the most incredible live performances I've EVER seen. He played the score live for the film he shot "The Invisible Lighthouse" and interacted with the screen and dialogue in a way I have never seen before. The audience was spellbound and when the film finished we all leapt to our feet and gave Thomas a standing ovation. Peter and I were blown away. The word "AWE" kept coming to my mind. Thomas promises to come back and do a theater tour in the fall. If he does don't miss it. It's a truly unbelievably good and inspiring multimedia experience.”
